Real Madrid manager, Carlo Ancelotti has revealed his tactical plan against Barcelona that did not work.
According to Ancelotti, he prepared his team to play out from the back through Luka Modric and find space between the lines with Vinicius Jr, Federico Valverde and Rodrygo.
However, they conceded two goals in each half to Xavi's fast improving side to lose 4-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu.
"The plan with Modric was to try to play the ball out from the back and find space between the lines with Rodrygo, [Federico] Valverde and Vinicius.
"It didn't work. Sometimes you get it right and sometimes you don't," Ancelotti said.
Real Madrid play Celta Vigo in LaLiga after the international break, before the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Chelsea on April 6.
