Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti says they are determined to defeat Valencia today.

Real meet VCF on the back of their Champions League semifinal thrashing at Manchester City.

Ancelotti said, "The team is ready and we have all the players available. We want to get back into a positive dynamic and tomorrow we have the chance to do things right. The aim is to finish the season strongly and Valencia are fighting with all their soul.

"We have to be ready and we will be. We'll put out the best possible team because almost everyone has recovered well. We rested well and the team is in good shape physically.

"The last game was very poor and we're hurting. The season has been good, although it could have been better, and the last couple have been unforgettable. We're not happy about our performance in LaLiga, but we won three competitions and fought to the end in the Champions League.

It is a painful elimination but it's a semi-final, it wasn't in the Group Stages or the Round of 16. We're hurting but you can always come up against a team in better shape who deserve to win. We congratulate Manchester City because those are the values of this club. Now we have to look forward and at the next Champions League campaign."
