Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has highlighted their team spirit ahead of the Champions League final.

Real meet Borussia Dortmund on Saturday as LaLiga champions, though were hit by injuries at the start of the season.

Ancelotti said: "When Courtois got injured we had Andrey and we signed Kepa. It was a very good signing because, despite not having played a lot, he has brought a lot to the dressing room.

"When Milito got injured we thought we had Alaba, Rdiger and Nacho. When Alaba got injured we could have had a problem. Nobody believed that we had a problem and this was very important. The players seized their chance.

"I want to thank Tchouameni for his work because he played as a centre-back, which he doesn't really like. He preferred to play rather than stay on the bench, as did Camavinga, who played at left-back and he didn't like that either. My players have adapted a lot."
