Ancelotti, renowned as one of Europe’s most accomplished coaches, was questioned regarding the disparities between the Premier League and La Liga following Real Madrid’s commanding triumph over Celta Vigo last Sunday. The Italian tactician boasts significant achievements in both leagues.

During a post-match press briefing, Ancelotti contrasted the characteristics of the two premier football leagues, stating, “It’s different. This doesn’t mean better or worse. There are less tactics. On a tactical level, La Liga is much better than the English one. If we talk about intensity, rhythm, the English league may have more. But the Spanish has more tactical quality.”

Ancelotti’s Real Madrid team has surged ahead in La Liga this season, overcoming an initial setback against surprise contenders Girona. Their resounding 4-0 victory over Celta further extended their unbeaten streak to 22 matches.

The Italian maestro stands alone as the sole manager to have clinched league titles in all of Europe’s major football leagues, achieving championship triumphs with Chelsea, Milan, PSG, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich.

As Madrid prepares to face Osasuna in La Liga on March 16 under Ancelotti’s guidance, they will resume action following the international break on March 31.
