Ahead of Real Madrid’s clash with AC Milan on Tuesday, Ancelotti told TribalFootball that his thoughts remain with those affected by the events in Valencia.
“It’s been a week since this tragedy happened, we are sad… this is the emotion we feel, we are very close to all the towns that have been affected.
“I hope this can be resolved soon and in this sense, I hope you can understand, talking about football is very complicated. We are part of this country and all this affects a lot.
“Out of respect for you and also to not disrespect people, I will try to keep it simple because I don’t feel like talking about football. For me tomorrow’s game is a very special one… but I will try to talk as little as possible.”
“There are many ways to help, I think this is different. Football had to stop and then football can and should help.
“The feeling is to talk as little as possible about football. As I said, it’s our job. We have an important, special match against Milan, but it’s in the background.

“What I think is that football is a party, but you can do it when you are well. If your family is well, then you have a party. But when people are not well, you should not have parties. Football has to stop because football is the most important thing… one of the least important things in life.”
