In the match that took place in the La Liga, between Real Madrid and Espanyol, Carlo Ancelotti's team suffered a defeat with a score of 1:0. There were bright moments in the game, one of which was a penalty against Pablo Machin on Kylian Mbappe.
Ancelotti noted: "We controlled the game, played well, especially in the second half. We did not deserve to lose. There was a disallowed goal on our part, we made 20 shots on target. We were better, but made a mistake that led to the loss."
Real's coach was not pleased with the actions of the Espanyol player: "That foul committed by Calero on Mbappe is very serious and rude. I don't want to talk about this, but I want to emphasize that this incident should not go unpunished. Everyone saw what happened."
Carlo Ancelotti expressed his disappointment with the work of the referees: "The decisions of the referee and VAR (Video Assistant Referee) do not make sense. We had our moments for scoring and controlled the pace of the game, but they could not prevent the goal that Espanyol scored. They played as they wanted."
The coach also praised the Espanyol team for how they played the match: "Espanyol played a very good game. They played the way they wanted to see it. It was difficult and confusing in the match."
