Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has praised his team for their record-breaking form this season.

Los Blancos broke a Spanish record of 19 consecutive wins following their 4-0 victory over Ludogorets Razgrad in the Champions League on Tuesday.

"It has been a fantastic year, and we want to round off our La Liga fixtures with a win," BBC Sport quotes Ancelotti as saying.

"With everything the team have done in 2014, I'd give them a high mark out of 10."

Madrid will take on Almeria on Friday evening, before flying to Morocco to play in the FIFA Club World Cup next week.
