[Real Madrid](https://www.managingmadrid.com) coach Carlo Ancelotti spoke after the team’s late win over Mallorca to delay the crowning of Barcelona as La Liga champions and insisted that his team still have hopes of winning the title, saying, “we believe in doing our job, in winning what’s left and seeing what happens. They have to lose, but anything can happen. We’re still in the fight.”
### **Ancelotti on not giving up**
“We didn’t give up despite having 12 injured players, which is very rare... It was resolved with a good attitude from the team. I’ve never seen a team shoot 40 times at goal like we did today.”
### **Ancelotti on whether he had a special feeling after announcing his exit**
“Whenever I’ve sat on the bench at the Bernabéu it’s always been special, like every game”.
### **Ancelotti on whether the season would’ve been different if it had always had the attitude of this second half**
“Yes, we have covered so many absentees with an extraordinary effort. If we had done that in more games it would have been a better season.”
### **Ancelotti on whether he’ll miss Real Madrid’s comebacks**
“I leave with the peace of mind and the serenity of having done what I have been able to do, that my teams try to win until the last minute, like we do at Madrid.”
### **Ancelotti on how he’s managed his squad recently**
“Nothing special, it’s been simple, no problems. It’s been a good management, the players have shown me the necessary respect, there have been no problems in that sense. The problems have not been because of that. Being weak or harsh, all that nonsense… they were balance problems.”
### **Ancelotti on Jesús Vallejo**
“He has played very little, but his attitude has always been top. Maybe he could have played a bit more, but we’ve given priority to young players like Asencio so that they could play more.”
### **Ancelotti on Víctor Muñoz**
“I spoke to him after that mistake \[against Barcelona\] and I told him that he shouldn’t think about the mistake, but about scoring the next one. The greatest players have missed. He is a great player.”
### **Ancelotti on who could return from injury at the weekend**
“Tchouameni can return. The doubts are Vinícius, Lucas, Brahim and Lunin, who got his hand stamped on yesterday, there can be four players recovered.”
