Ancelotti: Barcelona have little flaws

Ancelotti is keenly aware of the quality at Luis Enrique's disposal and conceded that he watched  Barca's 3-1 midweek win over Ajax, but he wasn't happy, as he couldn't see much faults in the current Barcelona side.

"Yes, I watched Tuesday's Champions League tie," he added. "Whenever I see a team try to find their many flaws.

"But I have not been lucky this time. I have not found many."

 When asked if he could coach Barcelona, Carlo Ancelotti said he has too much respect towards the Clasico rivalry to ever cross the divide and coach Barcelona, suggesting instead he would like to retire with Real Madrid.

Only two coaches - Radomir Antic and Enrique Fernandez - have ever been in charge of both clubs at separate stages of their career as loyalties run deep between La Liga's biggest duo.

Ancelotti, who has coached European giants including AC Milan and Chelsea during his glittering coaching career, insisted that taking charge at Camp Nou would be an impossibility in his eyes.

"Now I've trained Real Madrid, I can never train Barcelona," he told Cadena SER. "I have to respect my history and the history of the clubs that I have trained."

When asked if he would like to reign at the Santiago Bernabeu the way that Sir Alex Ferguson led for so long at Manchester United, he added: "It is unthinkable that I will spend 24 years at the club, but I would like to end my career in Madrid."
