Carlo Ancelotti, Madrid coach
I feel like a coach who has to fix things. This match comes at the right time to show a response and demonstrate what a good team we are. It's important to start this competition well. I think we will be competitive and we will try to win it again.

There is no debate about the goalkeepers in this team. I won't speak about that this season. We have new players like [Toni] Kroos and James [Rodríguez] and we have to get used to playing with them. We need maximum concentration because these spells are normal in football. We need more time to get our players into a better physical condition. We have a very good squad to be competitive in every competition.

[Iker] Casillas has a lot of experience and knows these kind of situations well. We have analysed together what is happening and it's a problem of continuity. We lose balance when we don't have control of the match. I wouldn't change my squad for any other in Europe, though. Fans watch what happens on the pitch. If we play well they support us and if we don't they ask for more. It's to be expected

Basel are in good shape and last year they defeated Chelsea. The standard of Swiss football is improving and their national team has achieved good things.
