Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti was delighted with his players after their 3-2 win at Union Berlin.

It meant they finish the Champions League group phase as winners and with a 100 per cent record.

Ancelotti said: "You can't fault our group stage. We've done really well, we've played with consistency and the quality of play has improved compared to the start of the season. The only drawback in the last two games is that we didn't manage the lead well: not today with a 1-2 lead nor against Betis with a 0-1 lead.

"We have to maintain good possession when we're in the lead, but that's not enough: we have to finish it."

“The positive thing about that game is that Ceballos scored an important goal for him and for us. He also played a complete game. Joselu displayed his quality, he's a great finisher in the box and sometimes we have to exploit that more, as we did in the second half.

"In the first half, we played very good football, but we didn't utilise Joselu very much. He got a shot off in the first half and in the second half he scored two goals. The injury problem has given opportunities to those who play less and they're taking advantage of it quite well."
