Real Madrid boss Ancelotti defends Sacchi over race row

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has defended Arrigo Sacchi over his race row.

The former AC Milan coach believes there's "too many black players" in Italy's youth teams.

Ancelotti was asked about the situation after Real's Champions League win over Schalke.

Refusing to make an extended commentary, the Blancos chief limited himself to two phrases: "I salute Arrigo Sacchi. Many enemies, a lot of honour."
