Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti had no complaints over their friendly defeat to AC Milan.

Real lost 4-2 to the Rossoneri in Dubai.

"After a week-long break we needed a game like this. The defeat does not bother us at all and on a technical level the team was good. Now we have to rest up and then prepare for the game against Valencia," said Ancelotti.

"Milan played well, we didn't, but you can't say that this will affect the work we have already done. After the break we needed a match like this in order to prepare for Sunday. We are really happy to put an end to a fantastic year. We also received good news from Valdebebas, where Marcelo was able to train and tonight we didn't have any injury problems."
