Basel now need to avoid defeat at Liverpool in the final round of fixtures in order to pip the Reds to the second automatic qualification spot and Ancelotti fancies Paulo Sousa's men to get a positive result at Anfield.
Which team would you tip to win the second spot in the group between Liverpool and Basel?
Ancelotti told reporters; "I think Basel are currently better than Liverpool,"
"I see a small advantage for Basel for the last round."
Indeed, Ancelotti admitted that Basel had posed Madrid plenty of problems with their high-intensity game.
"We did not play as we usually do," the former Chelsea boss conceded. "We defended well, we concentrated well and the most important thing was the victory.
"But Basel played with a lot of heart. They showed an intense game and were able to put us under pressure in the second half."
Liverpool will host Basel at Anfield on December 9, while Madrid are tackling Ludogorets at the Santiago Bernabeu at the same time.
