Real Madrid vs Osasuna: Ancelotti calls for positive reaction from his boys after consecutive losses
The HinduReal Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti wants a positive reaction from his side after it suffered losses against Barcelona in La Liga and AC Milan in the Champions League, as the team prepares for Saturday’s league clash against Osasuna. After a humiliating 4-0 home defeat by Barca, Real was again dominated on its own ground, falling to a 3-1 loss to Milan in a display that exposed last season’s Champions League winner’s poor defending and lack of firepower. Ancelotti’s side sits second in the league standings with 24 points from 11 matches, nine points behind leader Barcelona, which has played a game more. On Thursday, the France captain was also left out of his country’s squad to face Israel and Italy in this month’s Nations League games, stretching his absence in the national team to four matches.
