Real Madrid and Erling Haaland have been connected for a while, but Carlo Ancelotti will not part with Vinicius Junior to acquire the striker.
Erling Haaland and Vinicius Junior are destined to face off in the Champions League semifinals, therefore Carlo Ancelotti would not replace one for the other.
With star players Haaland and Vinicius once again shining, Manchester City and Real Madrid both easily defeated Bayern Munich and Chelsea in the first legs of their quarterfinal matches.
Vinicius has 21 goals and 14 assists in 45 games for Madrid, while Haaland has an astonishing 45 goals and 45 assists for City this season.
Even though he is a serious goal threat, Vinicius is Madrid's top creator of chances (89) and expected assist rate (10.18) this season. Only Eduardo Camavinga has made more Los Blancos appearances than the winger.
When asked if he would swap the Brazilian for the Norwegian during a press conference before Madrid's LaLiga trip to Cadiz, Ancelotti responded, "No, what a question!
Everybody has their own. Vinicius and [City manager Pep] Guardiola from Haaland are exploited by Madrid.
Vinicius and Toni Kroos both have adductor strains, so Ancelotti confirmed that they will both miss Saturday's match at Cadiz. However, he insisted that this is just a precaution.
Ancelotti, a former manager of Milan, Chelsea, and Paris Saint-Germain, questioned the idea that English clubs, like City this year, are frequently thought of as favorites for the Champions League.
Last season, Ancelotti orchestrated victories over Chelsea, Manchester, and Liverpool en route to becoming the first manager to win the Champions League four times.
Madrid eliminated Liverpool this year, and after the first leg of their quarterfinal match against Chelsea, they are up 2-0.
The truth is that English football has teams that compete really well, so I'm not bothered, he stated.
Although Spanish football advanced two teams to the semifinals last year, Italy has three teams in the quarterfinals this year, therefore it is not surprising to me that the English are the favorites.
