Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti was delighted after victory over Real Mallorca.

Real cruised to a 4-1 win after initially going behind.

Ancelotti said: "The first three goals are what I want to take away from this game. They were of the highest quality. The best in my opinion was the most important one, Rodrygo and Vini Jr's link-up play, and from then on, things got easier. It was a difficult match due to many things: the heat, the fact that we conceded a goal from a set piece... We kept our cool and little by little we turned the match around and got the win.

"Many factors are at play. Above all, the players' genetics. There's a lot of energy, speed and strength in the squad. The attitude and commitment of the players is also important, they are dedicated and work hard every day. This enables us to be in top condition."

Ancelotti also hailed the performance of goalscorer Fede Valverde.

He added: "One is a leader when he sets an example and Federico is very important for us. He's doing very well and is still very humble. This can help you to become a terrific leader in the future. There are a lot of people who can be leaders by example and not by their words. That's very important."
