MADRID, 12 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The coach of Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti, admitted this Sunday that he has “nothing left” from the 2-5 defeat against FC Barcelona in the final of the 2025 Spanish Super Cup, a result that leaves them “sad” and “disappointed” and forces them to “forget and look forward.”
“I’m not left with anything. Yes, with the game that Mbappé played. It was a very good game for him. He made a very good play, he scored a goal. But the rest, we have to forget about and look forward,” said the Italian at a press conference after the final of the Spanish Super Cup.
The harsh defeat leaves them “very sad, very disappointed.” “The sadness is ours, it is the sadness of our fans. We are very sorry for this, but we have to look forward, because there is no other way. Look ahead, prepare well for the next game and recover the good dynamics we have had until this one,” said.
“We have to look at reality. The reality has been this. We have not defended well either in the opposite field to try to press high or with the low block. We have not been able to work well on a collective or individual level, because we have lost many duels,” he analyzed about the match.
Although he did not want to personalize Lucas Vázquez or Aurélien Tchouameni. “I don’t have to name anyone. When I talk about a team, I talk about a total team. We haven’t defended well at the back. In the middle, the team wasn’t compact. We have to defend better again,” he warned.
“The game has not been good from the first minute to the last, including the fact that we have been left with one more. We have not been able to find solutions. I am hurt and sad for the entire game,” he lamented, insisting on the defensive aspect. “You have to defend well to win this game. We defended poorly. Barcelona deserved to win. They defended better than us,” he concluded.
