Real Madrid is in their competition phase on Wednesday, and despite a bad campaign so far, they can still end in the top 8, which would mean that they automatically continue to the last 16 of the Champions League, where Liverpool, Barcelona and Arsenal are already located.
The defending champion must win against the Ligue 1 side, while they rely on other results that go their way. However, Carlo Ancelotti will only focus on events in France, as he told his press conference on Tuesday (via Diario ALS)
“It will be difficult, as always. Brest, in the Champions League, did very well. They still have one point and options to be eligible (in the top 8), which is not bad. The commitment will be high for both teams. We want to close this group stage well … which has been complicated.
“We will only think about our own match. Win … and try to end as high as possible. Then draw and see what happens. For tomorrow we only think about winning our game. Nothing else. “
Ancelotti spoke about the situation with Vinicius Junior, who is still being associated with a record-breaking move to Saudi Arabia. Nevertheless, the Italian has expressed his confidence that the Brazilian superstar is not going anywhere.
“I understand everything. I understand everything in football. I also understood that Kroos left football … and that is despite the fact that few did. These decisions are individual. But I already said it: I see him happy, I want to stay here and win titles with Real Madrid. I think he will choose Glory. '
Real Madrid has been in good shape lately and after their convincing victory against Real Valladolid last weekend, they will strive to win another victory against Brest. If they can, they can prevent them from playing two extra Champions League matches in February.
