Real Madrid must focus on putting in a complete performance instead of going all out in their search for a goal as they look to overturn a one-goal deficit against Barcelona in their Copa del Rey semi-final second leg, manager Carlo Ancelotti said.Real centre back Eder Militao scored an own goal in the first half of last month's first leg, before Barcelona defended superbly to frustrate Ancelotti's side and secure a 1-0 win."It's always the most important game for me, for Real Madrid and for the fans.

There is a very big rivalry," Ancelotti told reporters on Tuesday, ahead of the game at Camp Nou. "This match allows us to play another final and it is the most important objective.

It is an important competition and we are close. We will do everything we can to play in a final."The idea is not to go crazy to score a goal.

The idea is to play a complete game with and without the ball. We haven't got there many times and that's an important aspect.
