WHAT THEY SAID: When asked about his future at Real Madrid, Ancelotti told reporters: "It's an evaluation that the club has to make, not me. I've said many times that I'd stay here for life, but I think that's impossible. It's a decision the club will take at the end of the season, whatever happens."

He added, on Los Blancos' chances of winning something this season: "Rules change! And unwritten rules too. But I'm convinced that we'll win something this season, so that's that."
