'He said he lied to us': Toni Kroos reveals what Carlo Ancelotti told players ahead of El Clasico

"He [Ancelotti] told us last week, before the game against Mallorca: 'If we win, we're done [in La Liga].' It was difficult for us to win, and then he told us: 'I lied to you. If we win next week [against Barcelona], it's over.'" Toni Kroos has told his brother for Einfach mal Luppen podcast.

"Finally, everything will end when we beat Real Sociedad on Friday," the German added.

Despite the 11-point gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona, Carlo Ancelotti apprently wants to make sure his team mathematically guarantee themselves the title! To do it, the Whites need to win their next three matches provided Barca also keep winning.

Real Madrid face Real Sociedad, Cadiz and Granada next in La Liga.
