Real Madrid have a number of quality midfielders at their disposal.

For Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti, he has hailed Dani Ceballos as the most in-form midfielder in the squad at the moment.

Carlo Ancelotti has said: “In this period we’ve benefitted from Ceballos’ quality – he’s done really well.

“The others are progressing gradually. Kroos has played well in this period. Modrić is getting better in terms of fitness.

“Tchouameni has been injured and is back. I always demand the same from the midfield. Nothing has changed much. The one thing that has changed has been Ceballos’ form and he’s been hugely important for us.”

Speaking further on the midfield, Ancelotti said; “It’s quite complex to decide on the midfield. But that’s what I have to do, try to choose what’s best. At the moment we coaches have the advantage of making five substitutions and the players who don’t start can change the pattern of play when they come on.

“We got to this final because those who came off the bench changed the games and allowed us to win the Champions League.

“It’s tough, but I think the players understand their role pretty well. Starting a match is important and coming on later is just as important.”
