Quotes
“I'm really enjoying working with [Arda] Güler and Endrick because they're very fast learners. They're always so receptive to instructions," Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti said ahead of the 2024/25 season
"They're eager to grow and to improve. It's interesting that Vinicius, Rodrygo, [Eduardo] Camavinga or [Jude] Bellingham aren't considered young players. We have a young squad with an incredible future.
"It will depend on them, their ability to stick together and build a strong group. In the end, the group, the team, is always how things are won."
