Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti: We won thanks to this team's immense commitment

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti gave his assessment of his side's win over Alavés on Thursday evening.

Real left it late and had Lucas Vazques to thank as his stoppage-time winner put Los Blancos back on top of the table and Ancelotti was delighted with his side's performance.

"We're really pleased with tonight because it was very difficult but thanks to the immense commitment of this team, we have won it. Playing with ten men for over half an hour required a huge effort. "That's why we deserved to win it at the end.

"It was a tough game and when we went a man down, everyone thought this might be the day we slipped up. This team has unfathomable energy. We dug in well, played some good stuff and defended well with ten men, and we got our reward at the end.
