Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has hailed Eder Militao as the best centre-back in the world.

The Brazilian has been a rock for Real Madrid in recent times, and is now a key player at the back for the club.

Speaking ahead of Sunday’s El Clasico clash, Carlo Ancelotti said: “Militao is really quick, really good at one-on-one, really good with the ball and he can head the ball so well.”

The Italian then joked as he added: “Maybe one defect is that he’s not always 100 percent focused.

“So, I can’t say that he’s perfect. Oh, and he’s also not so handsome.”

Militao joined Real Madrid from Porto in 2019, and is part of the squad that has won the La Liga twice in three years, as well as last year’s Champions League trophy.
