Dani Ceballos

Carlo Ancelotti sent out his reserve side for the final half hour against Juventus, and they showed that Madrid have a formidable squad this season.

Xavi’s side appear more coherent and better reinforced than Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid, who only have Benzema firing at the moment.

The Italian coach returned to work with very clear ideas about which areas of the squad need reinforcing and which players are surplus to requirements.

Alfredo Relaño considers the futures of Dani Ceballos and Marco Asensio who are now in the final 12 months of their contracts at Real Madrid.

The game itself was nothing to write home about but the extra time was scintillating.

It's FIFA week! Clubs press pause on their own activities as their best players head off to join their national teams. But it wasn't always like this.
