Carlo Ancelotti supports Luis Enrique

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti lends his support to Barcelona manager Luis Enrique.

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has shown his support to under-fire Barcelona manager Luis Enrique.

It has been reported that Enrique has two games to save his job amid talk of a fall-out with Lionel Messi.

However, Ancelotti has backed his fellow manager and insisted that the situation at the Camp Nou is not unusual in modern-day football.

"I don't know the Barca locker room so I can't comment. Everyone has to make their decisions with the locker room. Enrique is the person best-placed to make decisions. It was a fair decision," Ancelotti told AS.

"I haven't been at clubs with stability problems. Clubs have them and I have to be prepared. What is happening at Barca happens at all clubs at some point.

"I'm not happy about it. I look at my team, not what happens at Barca. All I'd say is there are teams that have problems through the season."

Just one point separates the top two in Spain, but leaders Real Madrid do have one game in hand.
