“Real Madrid was the best team and they won the Champions League, so I don’t think they don’t talk about teams, but I’m not sure what constitutes the best club.
“We had a difficult time defeating them in the semifinals, only winning by slim margins, and they won the Premier League, so I admire and congratulate Manchester City.
“We already have the Champions League trophy in hand.”
Karim Benzema earns Ancelotti’s accolades for winning the Ballon d’Or.
The coach continued by praising Benzema for his accomplishment and making the suggestion that if he keeps up his hard work, he might win the award again the following year.
Even though the Ballon d’Or is an individual award, Benzema thanked all of his teammates for helping him demonstrate his talent, according to Ancelotti.
“Despite the fact that the quality is still there, he did well and has become more of a leader in recent years.
We are currently anticipating the upcoming Ballon d’Or. He can begin preparing for Elche’s next match.
The coach was also questioned over Vinicius and his eighth-place Ballon d’Or finish.
He said, “I believe ninth was fair for him.
It suggests he still has room for development. He will therefore be inspired to do even better.
Ancelotti and the Simeone similarities
The play style of Real Madrid, which has been compared to that of Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid, was another subject covered in the news conference.
Ancelotti responded to the comparison by saying, “That’s a compliment.”
It was a highly fascinating game to watch Atletico Madrid play Athletic Club.
“It’s excellent when a team and coach are committed.”
