Ancelotti: Real Madrid defeat nothing to do with Xabi sale

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti says defeat to Real Sociedad had nothing to do with Xabi Alonso's sale.

Real lost 4-2 in San Sebastian for the first time since Xabi's sale to Bayern Munich.

"It is not a problem with one player. We lost everything after a god first half an hour. When the whole team does not have a good attitude it is difficult for just one player to change that," said Ancelotti.
