Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti admits his job can be a grind.

Ancelotti, ahead of facing Champions League opponents RB Leipzig, was asked about his situation.

He said, "It would be a very broad speech. I like my work a lot, especially at Real Madrid. It is the best club to do this type of work. There are many situations to handle, not only in victory, where there are people around you who cannot be happy.

"All that affects and suffering is only yours, while happiness can be shared. I'm fine, on the best team in the world to do this job, but we have more suffering than happiness."

Asked by a reporter about Real Madrid TV, Ancelotti smiled: "I am surprised that you do not have freedom of expression. Real Madrid TV expresses an opinion, like you."

On facing RBL, he added: "It is an important opportunity to continue in a very special competition. You have to get the best version, since the tie is not over. We think about playing at the best level from the first minute to the last."
