Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has offered sympathy to Ronald Koeman after his dismissal by Barcelona.

Rayo Vallecano's victory over Barca last night saw coach Koeman sacked.

Speaking today, Ancelotti said: “It happened to me a lot and I'm still alive.

"I'm always happy ... That's how the life of a coach is. The most important thing is to have a clear conscience because we gave everything, and I'm sure (Ronald) Koeman did it until the last moment.

"Then you have to get up ... life goes on."
