The Los Blancos are also hoping to turn around a 1-0 first-leg deficit in their Copa del Rey semi-final against Barca.
When told that Madrid’s high standards demanded winning either La Liga, the Copa del Rey or the Champions League, Ancelotti told reporters: “Rules change!
“And unwritten rules too. But I’m convinced that we’ll win something this season, so that’s that.”
Barcelona go into the encounter against Real Madrid on Sunday, nine points ahead of them and can take a 12-point lead if they win at home.
However, a victory for the visitors will mean the gap between the two clubs will be reduced to six with 12 matches to go.
