Real Madrid boss Ancelotti happy with Ronaldo's attempted rabona

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti had no problem with Cristiano Ronaldo's attempted rabona in victory over Cruz Azul.

Real eased into the final of the Club World Cup after a 4-0 win over Cruz Azul at the Le Grand Stade de Marrakech in Morocco.

Ronaldo went close with a stunning rabona effort and Ancelotti smiled: "It was his only way of shooting.

"I had never seen a shot like that before, but you never know quite what Ronaldo will do next. He didn't score but he provided two assists for his team mates and that is important even if he doesn't score."
