Real Madrid is table leaders and they have shown it against the PSG in returning leg of UCL RO16. Development of Vinicious Jr. under Ancelotti and Benzema's performance is the best part of Ancelotti's Madrid. Having the Kroos, Modric and casemiro at midfield positions Ancelotti is easily controlling and winninig the games. But against high press of Barca it will be a great test for Ancelotti.
