Real Madrid coach Ancelotti benches Arsenal target Ozil

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti left Mesut Ozil on the bench for yesterday's win over Athletic Bilbao.

Ozil is a target for Arsenal today.

"It's to be expected that he's not happy. I don't like players who are happy to be on the bench. It was a football decision to play Di María, who is playing well and with great intensity," said Ancelotti.
