Ancelotti's Promise to Mbappé After Barça's K.O.: 'If We Win LaLiga...'

Returning to their reality, Barcelona has finally been eliminated from the Champions League. After a whole season boasting a possible treble, Barcelona might end up empty-handed. Despite having conquered the Copa del Rey, their fight to win LaLiga remains quite close, being 4 points behind Real Madrid.

With the next match being precisely against Real Madrid, Ancelotti has had an interesting conversation with Kylian Mbappé. "If we win LaLiga I'm sure you'll be the Ballon d'Or," were his words to the Frenchman. With the amazing season he's achieving at Real Madrid, Ancelotti sees Mbappé as the clear favorite.

Moreover, Ancelotti's words reflect the extreme confidence he has in being able to surpass Barcelona for LaLiga. Aware that the culés have received a crushing blow from the Champions League, this is a great opportunity for Real Madrid.

Mbappé's Promise

Despite his complicated months with Real Madrid, Mbappé has managed to shine in the way that was desired.  Achieving 35 goals and 5 assists, Mbappé's season has been one of consistently breaking records. Being just two goals away from making history with Real Madrid, Mbappé is highly inspired.

Despite previous defeats against Barcelona, the culés are not in the best spirits after the Champions League. In addition, Barcelona's fatigue after a match that went into extra time is a factor to consider.

With the match against Barcelona being this Sunday, May 11, Ancelotti fully trusts in victory. Kylian Mbappé, during this match, will have his great opportunity to get back in the race to achieve his desired first Ballon d'Or.

Ancelotti's Confidence

Although a victory against Barcelona wouldn't put Real Madrid at the top of LaLiga, it would significantly close the fight for the lead. Carlo Ancelotti, above all, trusts that the result obtained against the culés will benefit Real Madrid and Kylian Mbappé.
