Ancelotti discloses whether he is 'scared' of Barcelona

Ahead of the clash against Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup semi-finals, Carlo Ancelotti was asked whether he was 'scared' of the opponent more than usually.

"No, I'm always scared," the Real Madrid coach responded jokingly.

"We're all fine and ready for the Supercopa, with the right mood. We would like to win this first title of the season.

"You can win a game, you can lose a game.. we have to play the best possible way against a strong rival. We all want to reach the final.

"My players don't think we are the favourites. We think we can play a good game and we'll do everything to win."

El Clasico's kick-off is scheduled for 20:00 CET. The winner will face either Atletico Madrid or Athletic Bilbao in the final.
