Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti was pleased with victory over Getafe.

Ancelotti admits Getafe made it difficult for the hosts. Fran Garcia had gifted the opener to Getafe's Borja Mayoral before Joselu and then Jude Bellingham struck for Real.

He said: "It was a difficult game because we played against a team that defends very well, with a deep defensive line and that closes down very well. It was difficult to find chances and it was even more difficult because we gave away the first goal. This doesn't change my thoughts about Fran García, who has had a very good start to the season. He may have paid for the pressure of the stadium and that's normal.

"We didn't have many chances in the first half because Getafe defended with a lot of intensity, energy and commitment. The second half was different. We scored early and got the game under control. We had a lot of chances, but without much success. However, we deserved to win with a goal from Bellingham, who is used to scoring.

"I like the commitment and the intensity in the games. We have upped that intensity compared to last year. In this sense, the youngsters bring a lot and to play against Real Madrid you need great intensity because we are capable of maintaining it for 90 minutes."
