Carlo Ancelotti, after the victory over Barcelona, said that Kepa, not Lunin, will play in future La Liga games.
On Sunday, January 14, Real Madrid defeated Barcelona in the match for the Spanish Super Cup.
Los Blancos head coach Carlo Ancelotti commented on his team’s victory. The specialist noted that the game was very difficult for his players.
“The match was difficult for us, it was too big a score considering how Barcelona played. At 3:1 the game was equal, and only after the fourth goal the opponents gave up. Perhaps after 2:0 we tried too often to run away counterattack, we needed to control the ball a little more,” Movistar quotes Ancelotti as saying.
The Italian specialist also spoke about plans for Real Madrid goalkeepers Andrei Lunin and Kepa Arrizabalaga. He said that in the future the Spaniard will play in the Spanish Championship games, and the Ukrainian will play in the Spanish Cup match against Atlético.
“Kepa will play in La Liga. Kepa will return in La Liga, and Lunin will play against Atlético. It was a game for Lunin, and Kepa will return in the championship,” Ancelotti said.
Let us remind you that the final match of the Spanish Super Cup, in which Real Madrid and Barcelona met, ended with a score of 4:1. Thus, Los Blancos won the national Super Cup for the 13th time in club history.
Let us add that Real will play the next match on January 18. In the 1/8 finals of the Copa del Rey, Los Blancos will meet Atlético Madrid.
