Ancelotti’s side were 5-1 winners against Real Sociedad on Saturday, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring a hat-trick, adding to further goals from Karim Benzema and Sami Khedira.

“I have players in the squad who are going to be very important in upcoming matches,” he continued.
“When Di Maria played he did a great job, Isco too. All three midfielders are doing a good job, they have different qualities, but we can play well with other midfielders.”
