Ancelotti explains why he started Valverde ahead of Rodrygo and Asensio v Chelsea

We played a 4-3-3 tonight with Valverde to help Carvajal. And Fede did very well," Carlo Ancelotti said after the game.

Ancelotti also explained that he subbed Valverde off only because the Uruguayan was tired.

This tactical tweak worked very well. His attacking contribution aside, Valverde was very useful in defence, recording a few tackles and interceptions.

The 23-year-old was also crucial when Real Madrid were switching to counterattacking play.
