Real Madrid showed character to come from behind and beat Espanyol.

Espanyol took the lead in the first-half, but goals from Vinicius Jr, Eder Militao and Marco Asensio sealed a 3-1 comeback victory for the Los Blancos.

Speaking after the game, Carlo Ancelotti praised the performance of Aurelien Tchouameni, Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo.

Carlo Ancelotti said post-match: “I thought Tchouameni played well.

“He lost the ball a couple of times, these kinds of games are not ideal for him. He’s got fantastic defensive attributes, when we have to keep the ball, he’s not going to give his best. He’s in good shape and we’re going to have faith in him for upcoming games.”

He went further: “We were really mobile up top and we tried to do more down the right-hand side because Rodrygo worked hard on that side and Vinicius got his goal from over there.

“That’s where we had most of our chances.”
