Ancelotti: “It was an entertaining match, full of pace, intensity and it was open"

Carlo Ancelotti spoke in the press room at the Estadio de la Cerámica and discussed the draw between Real Madrid and Villarreal in the penultimate matchday of LaLiga: "It was an entertaining game, full of pace, intensity, open and not very tight. We came away with what we needed and we have to prepare for the next game. We wanted to play well and play attacking football".

"The objective wasn't the points because we don't need them, but to put in a good performance, with pace, intensity and to avoid problems and injuries. Everything went perfectly. We conceded more goals than we needed to, but that's OK for the Champions League final. The dressing room is geared up to training well for the next two weeks and try to win the Champions League".

Arda Güler
"He has demonstrated something special in attack. He's better the closer he is to goal. He is very effective and has a special talent. He can better demonstrate that closer to the goal than further away. He's scored a lot of goals from not many shots".

Lunin's performance
"I liked his performance because he couldn't do anything about the goals. He was good with his feet, he had pace and put in a good performance. The goals are obviously not his fault".
Militão
"He's getting close to 100 per cent. We have two weeks and he could be at his best for the final. It's not only him who struggled with Sorloth, but also Rüdiger".

Brahim's season
"He's had a very good season and he's helped us a lot. Those who in theory were not starters have contributed. Him, Joselu and Arda have contributed a lot of goals".
