Ancelotti: Real Will Put Up a Good Fight at Barcelona

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti promised his team will put up a good fight against LaLiga leaders Barcelona at the “El Clasico” next Sunday, as the defending champions look to reduce a four-point gap with their arch-rivals.
Defending champions Real secured a 3-2 win over Celta Vigo on Sunday to keep their title dream alive going into the last four matches in the campaign.
Barcelona are unbeaten in their last 15 league games, and beat Real 3-2 after extra time to win the Copa del Rey last weekend.
“We’re going to prepare well, we’re going to put up a good fight,” Ancelotti said in a post-match press conference.
“It’s not going to be decisive but it’s almost there,” Reuters quoted him as saying.
The coach blamed injury-related absences for Real failing to hold onto a 3-0 lead, with Celta Vigo scoring twice within seven minutes to put the hosts under pressure.
