During their 3-2 victory against Leganés on Saturday, it was the pepineros who felt injured, but Ancelotti rejected the idea that the Whiteos took advantage of it.
After Real Madrid opened the scoring on a controversial penalty, Jude Bellingham and Raul Asencio avoided the sanction for their tackles on Diego Garcia and Yan Diomande. The Pepineros also challenged the free kick on which Kylian Mbappé scored his second goal, the goal of victory.
Ancelotti responds to criticism
Ancelotti explained that he thought that one of the goals of Legans should have been refused.
“” We were taken on two counterattacks after a defeat … which could have been a fault (on Brahim), and, as Leganés complains, we can do it too. These decisions were gray areas, where the referee decided in this way. And I have nothing to add “he told Diario As.
Leganese coach Borja Jimenez was a diplomat after the match, while admitting that his players were “indignant” by refereeing. Ancelotti refused to assess the penalty that could have been whistled against Bellingham.
“I have already said it. I did not see Bellingham's fault, but it could have been a fault on Brahim before 1-2. The arbitrator made a decision in both cases; In the first case, Leganes complained, and in the second, we did it. »»
