Liverpool legend John Aldridge has praised Mario Balotelli on BBC Radio 5 Live after the striker helped inspire a Liverpool turnaround against Swansea in the Carling Cup last night.

"It's nice to be talking good things about the lad," Aldridge said. "The eyes of the world seem to be on him at the moment for the wrong reasons. But it was a good substitution by the manager and he turned things around with a nice little finish."

Aldridge believes Liverpool may need to pair Balotelli with a strike partner to get the best out of the Italian.

"He does struggle when he's up front on his own," he said. "He does come alive when he's up alongside someone. I think for future reference they may have to look at that."

However, Real are still fielding a strong-looking side, featuring Ballon D'Or nominees Karim Benzema and James Rodriguez, as well as Isco, who's been in excellent form of late.

"The Copa del Rey has given us a lot of success," Ancelotti says. "We have to play a serious game & give minutes to some players."

Ancelotti also defends Barcelona's Xavi against accusations of sour grapes after he said Real "live off counter-attacks" following their 3-1 win in El Clasico. "I don't think Xavi's comments were disrespectful," he says. "It's just the opinion of a footballer."

Real Madrid are holding a press conference right now ahead of their Copa del Rey match against Cornella this evening.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti confirms that Sergio Ramos, Cristiano Ronaldo, Iker Casillas, Toni Kroos & Luka Modric will all be rested for the game against third-tier opposition.
