Real Madrid play Osasuna in the final of the Copa del Rey tonight. After this clash, the Los Blancos will host Manchester City in the Champions League semi-final, just after three days.
Ancelotti had since bemoaned the fixture arrangement, but the Spanish FA decided against postponing the Copa del Rey final.
Speaking ahead of the Osasuna game, Carlo Ancelotti has hinted that his starting XI for the Copa Del Rey final will likely be the same one he’d pick for the Man City game.
“Same XI tomorrow and vs Man. City? Sure, it can happen,” Ancelotti said.
Real Madrid have not won the Copa Del Rey since 2014, and Ancelotti will be looking to have this trophy in the bag.
