Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti admits he's a fan of Girona winger Savio.

Real meet Girona later today in a top of a table clash.

Ancelotti said, “He's a young player who's doing a great job. We've seen him play and he has real quality. I'd like to congratulate him because he's showing how talented he is. We have the resources, experience and ability to stop any player.

“We can only look at this now and give them credit for how the table looks. Girona have done better than the rest in these early games. Better than us, Barcelona and Atlético. We have to respect that.

"They could be in the fight because they have the advantage of not being involved in European competition and so they have the chance to prepare well every week and allow their players to recover."
