Real Madrid offended by Xavi's comments after El Clasico

Real Madrid coaching staff feel disrespected by Xavi over his comments after El Clasico on Sunday, per The Athletic.

The Barcelona gaffer claimed his team dominated Real Madrid and did whatever they wanted on the pitch.

In Ancelotti's eye, Real Madrid played well and the game was evenly balanced despite the defeat.

A source told Mario Cortegana that Ancelotti called his players and told them they played well in the last two Clasicos despite suffering narrow defeats in both games.

With Barcelona racing away with La Liga title this season, Real Madrid's best chance for a title lies in the Champions League and Copa Del Rey. But Barca stands in their way once again in the Copa Del Rey semi-final.
