Real Madrid defeated Barcelona 4-0 in the Copa del Rey semi-final, and have the opportunity of winning the cup, if they beat Osasuna in the final, next month.

The La Liga however seems out of Madrid’s reach, as the Los Blancos are already 12 points behind, with 11 games left to play.

However, Carlo Ancelotti has vowed that the team will be at its best and will fight until the end of the season.

Speaking to the press on Friday, the Real Madrid manager said: “The team’s a bit fatigued today, but we don’t have any problems. Everyone apart from Mendy is available and we have to see how everyone has recovered tomorrow from the Clásico.

“We have to field the best team to make sure we keep fighting until the end of the league.”

Carlo Ancelotti also admitted fatigue after the El Clasico victory.

He said: “I’m fine. I’m relaxed, motivated and excited because the team’s doing really well. My mood depends on the mood of the team and I think they’re doing really well. I can have no complaints.

“Sometimes I’m so tired after matches that I have no desire to feel the emotion – I just want to relax. There was a lot of pressure on Wednesday before and during the match and when the game ends you feel tired and you just want to rest.”
