Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has no doubts about his players against Almeria on Sunday.

Real enter the game after being knocked out of the Copa del Rey by Atletico Madrid.

Ancelotti said: “Playing at home is very important. Our fans help us and that allow us to perform at our best in every game. It's an important time of the season, with five league games before the Champions League and we are keen to do well in these games.

The team's doing well. We played extra-time on Thursday night, but the players have recovered very well, because I was impressed with them in training this morning.

“We're focused on tomorrow's game and we're up against a team where the data says they have 6 points, but they deserved to win against Girona, Atlético were asking the referee to blow full-time at home against them and against Barcelona they were drawing until the 30th minute of the second half.

"They're a team we have to respect and they have quality. They're still alive and tomorrow they're going to fight for the game. We have to be ready".
