Real Madrid coach Ancelotti on 4-4 Villarreal draw: It went perfectly

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti insists he enjoyed their 4-4 draw at Villarreal.

Arda Guler scored twice for Real, with Alexander Sorloth hitting all four goals for Villarreal.

Ancelotti said: "It was an entertaining game, full of pace, intensity, open and not very tight. We came away with what we needed and we have to prepare for the next game. We wanted to play well and play attacking football.

"The objective wasn't the points because we don't need them, but to put in a good performance, with pace, intensity and to avoid problems and injuries. Everything went perfectly. We conceded more goals than we needed to, but that's OK for the Champions League final. The dressing room is geared up to training well for the next two weeks and try to win the Champions League."

On Gler, Ancelotti said: "He has demonstrated something special in attack. He's better the closer he is to goal. He is very effective and has a special talent. He can better demonstrate that closer to the goal than further away. He's scored a lot of goals from not many shots."

On goalkeeper Andriy Lunin's performance, he added: "I liked his performance because he couldn't do anything about the goals. He was good with his feet, he had pace and put in a good performance. The goals are obviously not his fault"."
