Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti is delighted with the form of Nacho Fernandez.
Ancelotti says the captain's experience is proving crucial.
He stated ahead of their clash with Real Mallorca: He's played a lot of games and has been hugely important to us, because he's Nacho, the ever-reliable player.
"When you play so many games, you run the risk of making lots of mistakes too, but he's still a player full of confidence, experience and personality.
"He's been so useful for us and will continue to be in the upcoming games."
