CARLO ANCELOTTI on…
…the disastrous game once morest FC Barcelona: “Yes I wanted (Wound) Blueex use it as a 10 to play well from behind and to create space between the lines and play our game. My plan on how to beat Barça was very bad. I have no problem taking responsibility. The game hit us hard. But we have to keep going and stay calm. We have to stay balanced.”
…the question of whether the break until the next game is an advantage: “I think the break is good for us. We can get Karim Benzema and Ferland Mendy back on their feet who were injured. And we have time to digest the defeat. She hit us hard but we have to stay calm.”
…Gareth Bale’s pre-match physical condition and his Wals nomination: “Gareth didn’t feel so good following yesterday’s practice. That’s why he wasn’t available for the game. I don’t know what regarding the national team, they have to decide that.”

…the reaction of the fans and the followingmath of this game: “I think the fans were there for us even in this defeat. They understood that this was not an easy evening for us. Nobody knows what will happen in the next games. But we have the next two weeks to recover. We have to take it game by game and win, but I don’t think losing will affect the team. Like I said, I planned badly. But I can make a mistake once, twice is pretty rare.”
…the impact of Karim Benzema’s absence: “We didn’t lose because of that. We tried to put some pressure up front but they ran the ball really well and following they scored the first goal it was even harder for us to push and get the ball back. They controlled position better in the opening game and we struggled to regain the ball. That took a lot out of us. We were very high up and it was difficult to regain possession.”
…the question of whether there was a lack of attitude: “I don’t think so, the attitude was very good, the players were very motivated, like before each of these games. The planning just wasn’t good, like I said before.”
…a possible dismissal for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, which might have meant a different course of play: “That is not an excuse. I don’t want to talk regarding this too much. We didn’t play well, I planned the game badly. But we have time to get our energy back, recover and prepare for the last two months in the league to win titles. So far we have achieved what we wanted at the beginning: to be nine points ahead and to be in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. I’m very sorry and I’m very sad, but I have to stay calm. The nine points and the quarter-finals in the Champions League give me this calmness.”
