Ancelotti: "It's an important moment in the season, and we're motivated"
"Valencia are playing well, it's going to be a tough game," added the Real Madrid coach.

Carlo Ancelotti met with the press at Real Madrid City to analyse the Real Madrid-Valencia clash on LaLiga matchday 30: "We're doing well, but we have some doubts after the extra time. The team is upbeat and motivated, we're aware that Valencia are playing well. We're facing a delicately balanced and difficult game. We're motivated and ready to fight, we're aware that it's an important moment in the season."
"We're not worried because Courtois is much better and we think he can make it for Tuesday's game. We're not sure about Lunin, he's going to be tested today in training. If he's not well, we have total confidence in Fran. The only problem is that he's young. Sooner or later his moment will come, and if it's tomorrow, we'll be very happy for him. He has a bright future as a goalkeeper. We're not concerned."
Are you going to rest Bellingham?
"It's an option we have. Bellingham recovers quickly and is in good form. Today's training will give us a bettter idea of how the players are doing. But it's an option to give him a rest tomorrow."
Extending LaLiga streak
"We have to be optimistic because the team is fighting. We're in all the competitions and very close. We have the confidence after the experiences we've had in the past, and we can do it."
Team balance
"We have improved this aspect in the collective sense, and I don't think there are any individual defensive failings. For example, against Real Sociedad, Alaba had a good game, but he was unlucky with two touches that led to two goals. In the match statistics we have had very low expected goals. In terms of defensive attitude, we didn't deserve to have conceded four goals. Offensively, we did deserve to score four goals. It's a characteristic of this year's team. We're more effective up front because of Mbappé, who has scored 33 goals. He's been important in that sense, but there's more suffering at the back. It's normal. When you choose one thing, you have to think about it. We're thinking about being more effective and doing a bit more collective work defensively."
More opportunities for Endrick and Güler
"They're going to get them just as they have in recent games, where they have performed very well. They have shown that they can help the team at a crucial moment."
Possible UEFA sanction against Rüdiger
"We have to wait, nothing is going to happen, and surely Rüdiger will be able play on Tuesday."

Cup final against Barcelona
"We're delighted to be playing in a big final and to be very close to another objective. The fans are the fans, and they can say what they want. Barcelona are playing very well, they're on very good form. In a final, you have to respect all your opponents. There is a lot of respect for Barcelona, just as Barcelona respects Real Madrid."
Are you going to ask to leave the club?
"I'm not going to ask to leave this club."
Is Barcelona allowed to do things that other clubs are not?
"That's not a question for me. You have to ask other people and not talk about this issue."
