Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti was happy with Alvaro Rodriguez's debut for victory over Osasuna.

Rodriguez laid on an assist for the 2-0 win.

Ancelotti said: "He's a player with so many attributes: he's tall, formidable in the air, he moves the ball well… He can offer us something like he did today.

"It's not easy for a young lad to come through at Real Madrid and stay focused on the game. He made the difference in ten minutes because he got two assists, one for Vini Jr. and one for Asensio.

"I'm certain he'll help us out this season. I have to speak to Raúl about his future but he's a player we are going to use."
