Real Madrid boss Ancelotti: Isco not our only shining light

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti defended Cristiano Ronaldo's performance after victory over Deportivo La Coruna yesterday.

Isco and Karim Benzema sealed the points for the hosts.

Ancelotti said of Ronaldo: "He did not score but he was dangerous. He hit the bar, provided an assist and had chances. He did not miss passes and technically he was good during the game.

On Isco, he added: "I do not believe that he is the only player really holding up the team. He is performing well and scored today. He worked like all of the players and continues to play well. We have to enjoy this as we currently are enjoying it."
