What has Flick said ?Speaking to reporters ahead of the heavyweight bout, Flick said: "After the defeat in Milan, everyone knows it's not easy after the match, but we're doing great. We spoke about that and what we want to do in the next two weeks.
"We have four matches to go. Of course, the Clasico is tomorrow and it is very important to show again how good we can play. Everyone knows in the Clasico, you have to be on your highest level.
"We want to be active, see the intensity on the pitch, and be dominant as normal. We know Real are a fantastic team, but we're at home, we have our fans. Real will try everything to win it, like us.
"I don't care about the table at the moment. We have to win. We want to win. This is our mentality, our attitude. This is how we will start the match. We focus on this match, nothing else."
On Robert Lewandowski and Alejandro Balde, who will miss El Clásico, Flick added: "As starters, I don't think the moment is right for them. Ferran [Torres] in attack and Gerard [Martin] at left-back are doing very good.
"When you see Gerard, how he's playing in a semifinal of the Champions League, it's really great. [Marc] Casado is also available. But we have to take care. We have three more league matches after Madrid. Tomorrow is more for them to come on in the second half."
What has Ancelotti said ?Meanwhile, Ancelotti said: "It's always a special game because of the rivalry and the fans' desire to beat Barcelona. Also, it's the last Clásico of the season because Barcelona are not playing in the Club World Cup.
"The team is doing well, they've trained well and are focused on what we have to do. We're motivated and excited. It's an important game with a lot at stake and we're full of confidence in our belief that we can do it.
"It's going to be very difficult, like all the games against Barcelona, but the last match gives us the confidence to try to win tomorrow," added the Real Madrid boss. "In this type of game, you have to do things well and defend well because Barcelona pin you back in your own half, but when you have the ball you have to take advantage of their weaknesses because no team is perfect.
"They've had a great season, but there's a lot at stake and you have to manage the small details, the tempo, defend and attack well. All the little details, as in all the Clásicos."
