On Wednesday evening Barcelona supervisor Xavi Hernandez was gotten some information about styles and returned with a response that albeit apparently evident - given the destiny of Ernesto Valverde - created a ruckus in Spain.
"Barca's set of experiences requests [that we play well], Madrid's doesn't," Xavi told Sport.
"Out history since 40 a long time back when [Johan] Cruyff came, he set a bar: win by playing great. If not, we won't be cheerful, that is the manner by which we Catalans are."
"In Madrid, I don't have any idea. They are a tremendous adversary, with an incredible cutthroat quality. However, Barcelona is an alternate story."
Numerous outlets accepted these remarks as an analysis of different clubs - obviously in Madrid - mounting banters about what playing all around implied and whether a specific style has a syndication on that term.
In the present pre-match public interview, these remarks were put to Carlo Ancelotti, who was philosophical in his reaction.
"I might want to address with an inquiry: what's the significance here to play well? Everybody has their perspective. For my purposes, playing great is doing things well when you have the ball however much when you don't. Shielding great isn't inseparable from playing great on the off chance that the players don't have any idea how to manage the ball. Also, the other way around."
It appears Ancelotti was quick to feature the legitimacy of various styles, adding this to reply - got by Sport once more.
"Football is going after and safeguarding. Furthermore, there are numerous ways of protecting: with a low square, a medium or with a high press. That is the manner by which I get football. Atletico guarded extremely well in the principal leg of the bind with Manchester City."
