Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has claimed that Los Blancos have 'the strongest squad in the world'.

Ancelotti led the Spanish side to the Champions League and Copa del Rey last season, before claiming the Club World Cup earlier this month.

However, the Italian already has his sights on 2015, which he hopes is a successful year for the club.

"Real Madrid are always the same, we try to win everything possible. We are confident because the squad is very strong, the strongest in the world. We have to work and fight in order to try and win again," he told reporters.

Real Madrid have won their last 22 competitive games, but did lose 4-2 to AC Milan in a mid-season friendly on Tuesday.
