Real Madrid coach Ancelotti explains Jeremy de Leon inclusion

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has explained bringing Jeremy de Leon with them for Bayern Munich tonight.

Real meet Bayern in Germany for the first-leg of their Champions League semifinal.

De Leon was signed earlier this year, but isn't registered as he arrived after the winter market closed.

Ancelotti explained: “We want 20 of us in training and in recent games we've called on Jeremy a few times because having spoken to Raúl, he's been very good for Castilla and he's a disciplined lad.

"He adds something to our training sessions because he's a young kid with real quality."
