“This is important, we competed also against Manchester United (a 1-1 draw the last time they played at home in March) and I think when we are focused, when we work well together we are a good team and we can compete,” stated Ancelotti.

” Obviously we didn’t have a great deal of possibilities to play as we desired however defensively we were actually excellent.

” We need to win games, it is ourgoal To attempt to have points and to attempt to win.

“The period before the lockdown we played against top teams and we didn’t win, now it is time to win and climb the table.”
