Real rounded off 2014 with a 4-2 friendly defeat to Milan, but that result did nothing to take the shine off the club’s astonishing form at the back end of the calendar year.<\/p>\n

Victory over San Lorenzo in the final of the Club World Cup provided European champions Real with more silverware and extended their winning streak in competitive action to 22 matches.<\/p>\n

Ancelotti is confident more success can be achieved in 2015, highlighting the strength in depth at his disposal.<\/p>\n

“In 2015 we want to compete in every competition. We have a very strong squad and we have the confidence to compete for everything,” Ancelotti told Real’s official website.<\/p>\n

“It is clear that winning the Champions League in 2015 would be a dream and we will try to do it. Real Madrid are always the same, we try to win everything possible.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

Ancelotti’s words were echoed by experienced goalkeeper Iker Casillas, who added: “I think that area by area we have the best player. We can compete for everything given that we are such a competitive team.”<\/p>\n

Real begin the new year with a trip to Valencia on Sunday.<\/p>\n
