Ancelotti Smiles, Facing City He'll Have an Extra 'Reinforcement': Very Good News
Ancelotti is happy with the 'reinforcement' he will have against City and everything is in their favor to win
The next match for the white team, after the last challenging classic, will be one of the most important of the season.This is because, for the fourth consecutive time, they will face Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League. However, it seems that, at the last moment, the Italian coach has received some good news.
It's a last-minute reinforcement, but not a player, rather Clément Turpin, the referee of the match. While it may sound a bit odd, this is because Madrid hasn't suffered defeats under this official's leadership. The referee's performance in Madrid's European matches has been so good that they celebrate it as a victory.
Obviously, this has absolutely nothing to do with influences or anything in the match, but it is important. Especially with everything the white team has suffered in recent matches, even in the classic with the controversial refereeing.

Everything in Favor of the Whites
Refereeing performance in Spain has been one of the most important discussion topics in recent years due to its decline.While mistakes can also be made in Europe, the number of them is infinitely lower than those that occur in Spain.
For this reason, having an official who does his job very well in every match he can is important for Madrid. Besides this, Manchester City also has to feel very happy to have a qualified official for this match.

The Merengues haven't known defeat in the matches where this referee has officiated their game. Something that surely the club and Ancelotti will want to continue showing their best version of the season against a City in low spirits.
They Must Win from the First Match
If the team and the fans want peace of mind for the upcoming Champions matches, they have to win from the first match at the Etihad. Especially seeing how Manchester City is today, where practically any team can harm them with very little.
