Russia's national team coach Fabio Capello believes that Madrid's "Real" is one of the best teams in football history and surpasses all opponents with mastery.
Carlo Ancelotti's students are currently on a winning streak of 20 games in preparation for the upcoming Club World Cup, so Capello has nothing but praise for the team from the Spanish capital.
"It can be said that other teams have not reached the level of Madrid's 'Real'. They are a machine, while others are just teams. Teams with excellent players within their ranks, but not possessing machines like 'Real'," the Italian told Onda Cero.
"Madrid's 'Real' is from another planet. Possibly one of the best teams of all time."
"Ancelotti leads a team that believes it is the best. They strive to win every match, they have everything they need. The team defends well, has an excellent goalkeeper and very talented offensive players."
"The most important thing is to maintain what they have achieved since the start of the season."
Last season's UEFA Champions League winners will face Mexico's "Cruz Azul" in the semifinals of the Club World Cup today.
