Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti was delighted with the midfield after victory over Granada.

Brahim Diaz and Rodrygo Diaz struck for the 2-0 win.

On Brahim, Ancelotti said: "Brahim is playing very well and working hard. Whatever position I put him in, he delivers. I'm very happy with him. It's true that he didn't have much of a role at the beginning, but now he's showing his quality."

On Fede Valverde, he stated: "He likes this role and enjoys this position with his national team. He's doing very well. It's difficult to say what his best position on the pitch is. When he plays at the back it's more difficult for him to get into the box. His work in any position is very useful for the team."

Ancelotti was also pleased with Toni Kroos' performance, adding: "He's a midfielder who doesn't miss passes and finds the best solution.

"He also wants the ball, is not afraid of pressure and also positions himself very well. His control and orientation are spot on when he receives the ball. Kroos is irreplaceable even when he's not playing."
