“It’s true that we are missing a lot of players and maybe we will have to consider a change in the system… I don’t know… I’m thinking about it,” Carlo Ancelotti told a press-conference on Tuesday.

“The system that we currently play with (4-3-3) has given us a lot in recent games. But we don’t have a right winger available, and that’s the only thing that could make me change it to a 4-4-2. I have to wait for the night.”

Real Madrid’s momentum – a 10-game winning streak in all competitions – ended with a disappointing 0-0 draw at home to lowly Cadiz on Sunday.
