Barcelona’s manager Hansi Flick has showered praise on his rival manager Carlo Ancelotti ahead of the Copa del Rey final on Sunday, 27th April. Hansi Flick has made Barcelona a beast in just 9-10 months and the team is in the contention of winning the treble again. Real Madrid are not in a great touch and also have been eliminated by Arsenal in the Champions League. After the elimination, there were reports that Madrid will part ways with their manager.
Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has heaped praise on his Real Madrid counterpart Carlo Ancelotti ahead of their highly-anticipated Copa del Rey final on Sunday, April 27. The German tactician, who has transformed Barcelona into a dominant force in under a year, acknowledged the tough time Ancelotti is facing after Real Madrid’s recent dip in form.
“It’s not nice to see what happened to Ancelotti. Real Madrid have one of the best coaches in the world. Carlo is a gentleman. I have the highest respect for him. I can say he’s an unbelievable coach,” Flick said in the pre-match press conference.
Barcelona are currently in the hunt for a historic treble under Flick, with their performances drawing comparisons to the club’s golden eras. On the other hand, Real Madrid have been struggling for consistency and were recently knocked out of the UEFA Champions League by Arsenal, sparking speculation over Ancelotti’s future at the Bernabéu.
