After the victory over Liverpool by 5 to 2, at Anfield, in the Champions League, Real Madrid faces Atlético de Madrid on Saturday, for the 23rd round of the Spanish Championship, needing to win to not let Barcelona escape even more in the lead.

The Italian said that, despite having a place in the Champions League quarterfinals almost guaranteed, he is not satisfied with everything that happened in the season.
“I wanted to reach this moment eight points clear (in La Liga), win the Spanish Super Cup (final defeat to Barcelona in January) and win 5-0 at Anfield,” he said.
“So we weren’t perfect. All kidding aside, I think we’re doing well. The absences in January cost us six points, but it was predictable” given the calendar, he concluded.
