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.
