Diego Lopez defends Real Madrid coach Ancelotti over keeper selection

Real Madrid goalkeeper Diego Lopez has defended coach Carlo Ancelotti.

Lopez expects to step aside for Iker Casillas in tonight's Champions League tie with Galatasaray.

"There is a person who is the coach who decides. Those who play will give the maximum and the other will be there to support and to be prepared for any incident.

"We all want to play, but we have to respect the coach's decision. Playing in Madrid is very difficult and I'm getting a chance so far," said Lopez.
