Victory was Real's fourth straight in Clasicos and also Ancelotti's first at the Camp Nou in six visits, with his side devastating on the counter-attack.
"We played a practical game. We knew what we need to do and the boys executed the game plan perfectly," Ancelotti said.
"Our team enjoy playing on the counter-attack and I have to take advantage of that."
Koeman lamented missed opportunities.
"I'm not happy with the result. I think we deserved more," Koeman said.
"We knew that we couldn't afford to miss opportunities and that if they got the lead, they know how to defend. We were not good in the last quarter (of the pitch).
