Mbappe reaching his best level at Real Madrid, says Ancelotti

There will be a 'Clasico' in the final of the Spanish Super Cup. Real Madrid defeated Mallorca in the semifinals and will meet Barcelona next Sunday, Carlo Ancelotti wanted to evaluate his team's match against the 'Bermellones'.

“I expected a more difficult and difficult match. We didn't start well. We could have scored earlier, but it cost us after the start. It was a demanding match because Mallorca did what they had to do”, he began.

Although he also highlighted the positive things: “We didn't play at our best level, but we gave a good performance and deserved to win. Tchouameni's injury has upset us somewhat, but Asencio has come in well and is ready because he trains with us. Against Barcelona we will try to do well and this is soccer”.

In addition, the Italian did not hesitate to praise Mbappe: “It is his best version moment he arrived at Real Madrid. He's been doing very well since December because he scores goals, he's more active. He is reaching his best level".

On the tensions after the final whistle: “The final brawl is unnecessary because the match is over. It is unnecessary and pointless for both teams”.

Ancelotti did not want to venture into Sunday's 'Clasico': “I think that in recent times, the ‘Clasico’ is something unpredictable. Some we've won easily, others they've beaten us twice at the Bernabeu 0-4. It's difficult to know what's going to happen, but it will be entertaining because there's a lot of quality on the pitch, but I don't know how it's going to be. We want to be better than them.

One of the most anticipated questions was about the precautionary granted to Barcelona, although the Italian did not want to respond to any of the issues raised: “Everyone has their own opinion. I have an official and public profile, but I don't want to give my opinion on this issue and what I think I keep to myself”.

Finally, Ancelotti praised the figure of Bellingham: “He means a lot to the team. At this moment the team's improvement is because Bellingham, Vinicius, Rodrygo, Mbappe... have started to become more active. This has been the team's improvement and we have been able in these matches to have balance and with strikers on the pitch”.
