Real Madrid were given a shocker, after losing to French side Lille away from home.

Carlo Ancelotti’s men were heavy favourites against Lille, but their performance in France was lethargic.

Carlo Ancelotti is hoping that the defeat to Real Madrid can be a wakeup call.

“The defeat is good for us. It’s a wakeup call,” Carlo Ancelotti told Movistar.

“The loss against Atletico in January helped us to change. Hopefully the same will happen now.”

Real Madrid came into the game with a 36-game unbeaten record in all competitions. The Los Blancos will look to return on a high in their next game against Villarreal at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday.
