Real Madrid coach Ancelotti ignores Ceballos jeers: Congratulations to Sevilla fans

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti shrugged off Sevilla fans barracking Dani Ceballos during victory on Saturday.

Ceballos was targeted thanks to his Real Betis background.

Ancelotti said, “It's difficult to find motivation in this kind of matches. We made our best effort, but now we can rest for a few days to prepare for the next game. The atmosphere in the stadium was great despite some whistling towards Ceballos. I didn't hear any insults and so we're on the right track.

"The fans should be congratulated. They support their team and have done that very well. They whistled at our players, but that's normal. I hope this kind of atmosphere is repeated because it's good for football.

"Something has happened this week, the atmosphere has changed and today was a good sign. People have started to understand what to do in the stadium and what not to do. We have to continue in this vein. As far as Vinicius is concerned, he has two days to rest and we'll see if he can play the last game."
