Jakarta - Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti does not want his team to play two matches in a short time, less than 72 hours of rest.
Los Blancos beat Atletico Madrid on penalties in the Champions League on Wednesday and then won 2-1 at Villarreal on Saturday.
"I think today is the last time we will play before 72 hours (of rest). We will not play another game without 72 hours of rest," Ancelotti told Real Madrid's website on Sunday.
"We asked La Liga twice to change the match time and they did nothing, this is the last time," continued the Italian coach.
FIFA recommends a minimum break of 72 hours between two matches to maintain player health.
