Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti says losing Ricardo Carvalho to Real Madrid is a blow.
The Portuguese, who played a key role in Chelsea's title win last year, had come to an agreement with the club a year ago to let him move on this summer, much to his former manager's dismay.
"Everyone was disappointed Carvalho left because Carvalho did very well for six years at the club," said Ancelotti.
"His desire was to leave this club to try new emotion, new experience."
