Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has now explained why he releases Real Madrid’s line-up two hours before games.

According to the Italian tactician, he doesn’t care to keep his line-up secret.

Ancelotti said: “Why do we release our XIs two hours before the games? I don’t care to keep our XI secret. I have always communicated my line-up two hours before. I don’t know what has changed.”

Meanwhile, Shakhtar Donetsk boss Igor Jovicevic has claimed Real Madrid won the Champions League last season only because of the brilliance of goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.

Jovicevic also claimed Real Madrid don’t need to play well to win games as Carlo Ancelotti’s men are lethal.

Jovicevic said: “Real Madrid is a lethal team, they don’t need to play well to win. If it wasn’t for Courtois, they would hardly have won the Champions League last season.”
