Barca may have been knocked out of the Champions League this week, but the world has fallen in love with Hansi Flick's team. Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe need look no further than Raphinha and Lamine Yamal for proof that superstardom and teamwork aren't mutually exclusive.
Ancelotti has won nine major titles over two storied spells with the club, but the Italian is coming dangerously close to tainting his legacy. If Madrid had put as much thought into their tactics as their industrial-scale campaign of referee intimidation and melodramatic conspiracy theories this season, they might have some silverware.
Their only path to some kind of redemption lies in domestic success. The only problem is that Barcelona have won all three of their previous meetings this season: 4-0 at the Bernabeu in the league, 5-2 with 10 men in the Spanish Super Cup final, and 3-2 in extra time in the Copa del Rey final a fortnight ago. Inter, however, have shown them the blueprint.
