Atleti are rivals insists Ancelotti

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has dismissed Diego Simeone’s assertion that his team’s main rivals this season will be Sevilla and Valencia.

The Atletico Madrid Coach has repeatedly stressed that his team are not in the running to challenge Madrid and Barcelona for the La Liga title this term.

However, it is a claim Ancelotti feels is unrealistic given Simeone’s team carried off the title last year and reached the Champions League final.

“Although they’ve brought in 10 new players their strength is still their motivation, desire, and how to fight in every game,” the Italian told RTE.

“In this regard Simeone must be commended because he has brought out the best in his players.

“They are going to be fighting for the title, not with Sevilla and Valencia as Simeone says,” insisted Ancelotti.
