Champions League - Matchpack: Real Madrid v FC Copenhagen

Carlo Ancelotti: "Things are still not coming naturally to the players, which is normal when you make changes. We need a bit more time so that the players can play the system in a more natural way. We are more vulnerable at the back and I think we have to find a balance between possession and a more balanced defence. And that's why we then always have to start from the back, faced with a compact team where it is hard to find efficient ways to attack."

Stale Solbakken: "Our immediate aim is to play a fantastic match here tomorrow and then to get maximum points against Galatasaray in Copenhagen. Obviously we need points away from home, too, and it is just possible that we could give Madrid a fright."
