Carlo Ancelotti plays down Asier Illarramendi incident

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has insisted that Asier Illarramendi will learn from his mistake after being caught breaching the club's code of conduct.

The Spanish midfielder, who moved to the Bernabeu from Real Sociedad in the summer, was recently pictured dressed as Batman, running in front of a bull during a carnival celebration.

His actions breached Los Blancos' code of conduct, which prevents players from engaging in dangerous activities, but Ancelotti has declared the matter closed.

"There is a disciplinary code like at any club so players avoid doing anything dangerous. It's the first time I've seen a player run with bulls," he told Marca.

"He has apologised and I don't think he'll do it again."

The carnival in question took place in the Basque province of Azpeitia.
