Ancelotti upbeat as title hopes evaporate

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti believes his side can overcome a 2-1 deficit to reach the Champions League final against Juventus despite seeing its La Liga title hopes all but extinguished by a 2-2 draw with Valencia on Saturday.

The reigning European champion is now four points behind league leader Barcelona with just two games left to play and has to come from behind against Ancelotti's old side at home on Wednesday to keep its season alive.

"We need to be positive and value how well we played in this match," said the Italian.
