Cassilas : "we can't get carried away with the praise, because it makes you weak"


Iker Cassilas
Iker Cassilas : "We're working towards winning titles, but we can't get carried away with the praise, because it makes you weak. We're a young side with drive and ambition, and obviously we're going to fight for all of the titles. That's what we want."

As for the Ballon d'Or, Iker can only see it going to one person: "Right now, there is one player who is a cut above the rest and there is no doubt about it: it's Cristiano Ronaldo. He demonstrates his drive and ambition in every game."

"We cannot think of a plan to rein in Neymar because if there is one for him, we must have others for [Lionel] Messi, Alexis [Sanchez] and [Andres] Iniesta," he told a press conference. Barcelona are favourites for the fixture despite not having beaten Madrid since 2011, but Ancelotti believes that could work to his side's advantage. "I do not know who is the favourite.
