The team, still Ancelotti (This morning he tested positive for coronavirus again.) is already focused on Wednesday’s match at Stamford Bridge, the first step to reach the Champions League semi-finals.

We have players, desire and motivation to achieve the goal”, he said.
Finally, he praised the level shown by Courtois and Benzema in Balaídos: “They are very important. It would be better if Thibaut worked as little as possible, but it is a luxury to have him because he is a crack as a player and as a person.
