Carlo Ancelotti on Modric, Miguel Guitérrez, Mbappé, Alaba, Güler, Vinicius ...

Fight for LaLiga: "When you have opportunities to finish the game... it can happen that against a team they can draw, and they had it with a counterattack after a corner. Obviously, after the second goal, it was closed. The team played well, and it wasn't easy to match the attitude and commitment from Wednesday's match, but with this schedule, it has been enough."

Attacking positions: "In the first half it was: Rodrygo on the left and Brahim on the right. To take more advantage on the outside, but in the second half we changed with Brahim in between the lines. Just for that, Vini on the outside is very dangerous, and Rodrygo really performs better on the left, but he does the same damage on the right."

Return of Alaba: "Alaba, after a very long injury, I think he had a very good match. Comfortable and well positioned, calm with the ball and without the ball. Obviously, he can start in the Champions League match, and let's not forget that he was ready a month ago, but he had the injury that didn't allow him to play. He just needs minutes."

Return of Miguel Gutiérrez: "Before the match I greeted him, I said 'good morning'. I wished him good luck for the future."

Mbappé and Cristiano Ronaldo: "He is very happy with his performance. He didn't score, but he provided an assist to Vinicius. Long balls, spectacular controls... he cares a lot about the team winning."

Modric's future: "I've already said it, Modric is a gift to football. He has to continue as long as he wants, and what he does, he does very well. Real Madrid is lucky to have a legend."

Meaning of Modric: "I have another 40-year-old player who won a Champions League, which is Maldini, and both can be compared in what a footballer should be. It's not a coincidence. An important factor is genetics, but also the attitude, commitment, professionalism they have... it's the only way to reach 40."
