Madrid, 28 Nov (EFE) (Camera: Martín Carrasco).- Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti stated in a press conference after his team's 4-1 win over Galatasaray that Cristiano Ronaldo's absence due to injury motivates his teammates to play well as they did against the Turkish club.
"Of course. Without Cristiano it is quite different. Cristiano's absence motivates the rest to do more. I was sad when I took off Jesé, who is playing very well. I needed to put on a defender. I think the team reacted very well. The quality of the squad is very good," the Italian said.
