Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti says he is prepared to stick with Sergio Ramos in midfield.

Ramos struggled in defeat at Champions League opponents Juventus this week.

Ancelotti said, "He can play in a lot of positions because he has my belief. He has done very well. I don't think it is reckless to play him in midfield. That is how we beat Atlético and Sevilla. If I have to put him there I will do it again.

"If necessary I will do it again because I have got good results from it, but that doesn't mean I don't have confidence in the rest. I think about line-ups every game and what I am most confident with. There was no planning error. These are moments where the coach takes a decision based on matches."
