Ancelotti: What I Ask from Mbappe is No Different Than Benzema

Real Madrid’s Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti admitted that his team hasn’t reached its full potential yet, ahead of facing Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.

As Madrid prepares for a busy week that includes the highly anticipated “El Clasico” against league leaders Barcelona on Saturday, Ancelotti said on the eve of their match against Dortmund, a repeat of last season’s final which Madrid won 2-0, securing their 15th title: “We haven’t reached 100% yet,” emphasizing the need to “keep working on achieving defensive solidity.”

He added: “We haven’t conceded many goals so far, but our opponents have had chances to score… We struggle more in possession-based games because we have players who know how to exploit space.”
