'No Drama' Says Real Madrid's Carlo Ancelotti Despite Rayo Draw

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said there was "no drama" despite his team failing to build on their Clasico triumph

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said there was "no drama" despite his team failing to build on their Clasico triumph, dropping two points in La Liga's title race with a 0-0 derby draw against Rayo Vallecano on Sunday. Los Blancos spurned several chances as they drove Rayo back throughout at the Santiago Bernabeu but could not find the last-gasp winner they so often manage to produce. The draw leaves Madrid second, two points behind shock leaders Girona, who came from behind to beat Osasuna, and two ahead of Barcelona after the Catalans' fortunate win over Real Sociedad on Saturday.

"In the table we are doing very well, we're in the fight, we're doing very well in the Champions League -- there is no drama," Ancelotti told reporters.

"We're confident, we will do things well, like we always do, like we did today."

The Italian said the result was not fair on his team, who could not find the goal they craved.

"We're hurt by the result, not the performance, clearly it was a game we deserved to win," added Ancelotti.
