Quotes
“The most important aspect of the match was the attitude, which was different in the first half and in the second half," Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti said after his side's clash with Barcelona.
"In the first half we were a bit sluggish, slow and not very aggressive. In the second half we were the opposite, more intense, more aggressive and more decisive in front of goal. Sometimes you don't play the way you want to play.
"In the first half we didn't perform at our best level. That can happen. We struggled at the start and we weren't very convincing in the individual battles. It was a half to forget. Fortunately, the second half was different and we managed to get the win.”
