Real Madrid coach Ancelotti: Vini Jr spectacular for victory over Osasuna

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti was please with victory over Osasuna.

The 2-0 win was earned by Fede Valverde and Marco Asensio.

Ancelotti said, "It was a well-rounded game, competitive, evenly matched and well played by both teams. We are very satisfied because the team performed very well, they knew how to suffer and looked for the right moment to score. We are very satisfied.

"We are doing well. We go into the game at Anfield in good shape and with all the confidence in the world. (Aurelien) Tchouameni had stomach problems. Karim (Benzema) I think will be fine for that game and (Toni) Kroos is back in training. (Dani) Carvajal is going to play at Anfield.

"Vini Jr had a spectacular game, as always. It was a bit more difficult in the first half, but in the second half he was on top of his game and when his opponents get tired, he turns up the intensity. He made the difference. He gave the assist for the first goal and troubled the goalkeeper several times. He had an outstanding game."

On Eduardo Camavinga, the coach added: “He's playing really well, we're delighted with him. His physical attributes are fantastic wherever we play him. He was brilliant defensively and his energy helped make the difference alongside Valverde."
