Ancelotti: “Mbappé played well, we have to forget about the rest”

Carlo Ancelotti spoke to the media following Real Madrid’s horrendous 5-2 loss to Barcelona on Sunday night. Asked about the players’ performance and if he took anything positive from the game, Ancelotti responded: “I have nothing to repress. It was a very good game for Kylian Mbappé. We have to forget about the rest and look forward.”

Ancelotti on performance

“The game was not good from the first minute to the last. We were a man down and we couldn’t create any chances. I’m upset about the whole game.

“The game was about defending well. We defended badly and Barcelona deserved to win. “They were better than us.”

Ancelotti on the performances of Tchouameni and Vázquez

“I don’t want to point fingers at anyone. At the back they didn’t defend well. The team was not compact. We need to defend better.”

Ancelotti on whether it could have been worse for Real if it weren’t for the red card

“I thought that with the expulsion we could try to come back. I didn’t think about anything else. At all.”

Ancelotti on disappointment

“We have to look at reality. We didn’t defend well. They scored goals very easily. We do not work well on a collective or individual level. It leaves us sad and disappointed. This is football. We have to go home. Our sadness is that of our fans. We have to look forward and prepare well for the next game.

“I am sad, like everyone. It’s a normal feeling. I’m disappointed, there’s no need to hide it. But this is football. Sometimes you can win and other times you have to learn from defeat. Nothing. There is still a lot of season left and we have to look forward.”

Ancelotti on what he told the players at half-time

“We should try to play football, because we didn’t do it in the first half. We took advantage of the long balls, but that should have been an option, not the idea. The idea was to play and we didn’t do it. “I said we could lose, but not like in the first half.”
