There was a debate a few days ago, which many found silly, about whether Real Madrid should celebrate a hypothetical LaLiga Santander title triumph while playing Manchester City in the Champions League semi-final.Carlo Ancelotti, who was backed up by his squad, had no reservations.
From the time Rayo Vallecano triumphed at Camp Nou, the Italian coach was unequivocal, and he said it from the microphone in Cibeles.
"On Wednesday, let's go for it," Ancelotti stated.He understands the magic of the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu and the bond that exists between the fans and the team like few others, and he was certain that the first steps toward a second-leg comeback against Pep Guardiola's side had to be taken on Saturday afternoon by celebrating the title at Cibeles.When questioned if the celebration should take place, Ancelotti dispelled any misgivings that may have arisen at the club. He didn't even think about it for a second.
Not only because of the supporters' encouragement in starting to prepare for the match against Manchester City, but also because of the immense amount of labor that goes into winning a league title.
The fans comforting presence.
Ancelotti wanted the players, coaching staff, and all personnel associated with the Real Madrid first team to experience the warmth and intimacy of the fans, as well as the unity that exists between the players, the club, and the fans.There's a lot on the line on Wednesday, and the final isn't far away, as the first leg showed.
The 62-year-old is well aware of the difficulty of the mission, but the emotions and scenes saw on Saturday afternoon when a major portion of Madrid celebrated the title will stay with the players who take to the Bernabeu pitch on Wednesday night, regardless of their shirt color.
Furthermore, Ancelotti has maintained from the beginning that a little joy and a little partying never damaged anyone.
