Ancelotti continues to learn about his squad during pre-season, in particular new additions Antonio Rudiger and Aurelien Tchouameni.

On Tchouameni, the Italian said: “He’s a different six than Casemiro, who stays more in his position. Tchouameni has the ability and quality to play more in attack. He has also improved on the ball.”

Karim Benzema was Madrid’s other scorer, equalising for 1-1 with an excellent low strike from outside the box in the 22nd minute.

Benzema, who scored 44 goals in all club competitions last term, had not played any competitive games since May, enjoying a longer break with the World Cup later this year in mind.

“Benzema is in good shape, even if he hasn’t done a lot of training sessions,” Ancelotti said. “It’s clear that he still needs to improve his physical form. But we are on schedule, working a lot.

“After the game against Juventus we will reduce the pressure a bit to be in good shape for the Super Cup.”
