Real Madrid boss Ancelotti unconcerned over Enrique Barcelona meeting

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has shrugged off Celta Vigo coach Luis Enrique's meeting with Barcelona.

Enrique met with Barca officials earlier this week about the coaching position, though there are claims of 'collusion' as Celta meet Real this weekend.

Ancelotti said: "I don't think that will have any effect on things. These three points are in our hands and we have to win them. Tomorrow is an essential game because we know that if we don't win this match we lose the league. We are very focused and it will be different to the game against Valencia, where the energy was not as good. We've recovered and tomorrow we're going to give our all to win the game, because it's essential for winning the league, as is Saturday's game.

"I don't see anything in particular. I think Barcelona could be on the lookout for a coach for next year. I don't know what Barcelona's plan for the future is. It could be that they have discussed their future and I don't think they've spoken about the game against Real Madrid."
