Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti believes he will have failed if his side does not beat Manchester United to the Premier League title this season.
In fact, the wily Italian insisted he'll go to the cinema instead of watching his title rivals face Tottenham Hotspur.
“We have to win the league to make it a successful season,” Ancelotti told the Times.
“At this point of the season we have to win. I am excited because it’s a very important moment of the season, maybe the most important.
“Pressure is the engine of life. You have to cope with the pressure, the stress.
"That’s why, rather than watching the games, it’d be better to go to the cinema.
“We are not interested in Manchester United’s result. There are some fantastic films on: maybe Clash of the Titans,” he joked.
The Italian did concede his players are feeling the pressure but believes that is normal.
“The players feel the pressure now because Chelsea are very close to winning the title for the first time in four years," he added.
"But this is normal. It’s better to have this than to stay ten points behind and not have anything to play for.”
