Nevertheless, Ancelotti was unsatisfied, telling reporters: "We have to improve. We showed the quality everyone knows we have which is the capability to score in many different ways.

"But we need to continue improving the balance and our consistency."

Madrid currently occupy sixth place in La Liga table.
