Carlo Ancelotti had enough of Gerard Pique after the former Barcelona player launched a new attack against Real Madrid. A few days ago, the World Cup champion with the Spanish national team claimed that no one remembers the recent Champions League title won by the Italian coach.
“When we win (Barcelona), we make it memorable forever. When they win (Real Madrid), it’s just another one. The last Champions League they won, they weren’t superior in any of the rounds and will never be remembered. The last one was a miracle because they were inferior in every round. Nobody will recall it. Maybe we win less often, but when we do, it’s more impactful.”
After Real Madrid’s 3-0 victory against Braga in the Champions League, a reporter asked Carlo Ancelotti what he thought about Gerard Pique’s recent statements.
“Well, Pique lives in his own world, which is not the world of Real Madrid fans. I can assure Pique that there isn’t a single Real Madrid supporter who can forget the 14th Champions. Not one. It’s a Champions League that will be remembered forever.”
