Despite the challenges of preparing for midweek matches, Ancelotti commended his team's steady performance, emphasizing their well-deserved advantage in the league standings.

"It's obviously a contained joy, because the most important game of the season (Bayern) is also very close, but we have to be happy," Ancelotti shared his thoughts with Movistar Plus+ on Saturday, prior to learning about Barcelona's result..

"Those games (Cadiz) are difficult to prepare for, because you have Wednesday on your mind. But so far it's been spectacular, our team was steady, with hardly any mistakes. The advantage we have is well deserved."
