Ancelotti Reveals the Key to the Defeat and the Farewell to LaLiga: 'Against Us...'

Carlo Ancelotti addressed the media at the Santiago Bernabéu after the unexpected defeat against Valencia by 1-2. A goal by Hugo Duro in the 95th minute shook up the fight for LaLiga and left Real Madrid in a delicate situation. The white team will travel to London with some doubts after an unexpected setback.

"It's more complicated, but we have to do well until the end. We still have chances, much fewer, but we have to fight until the last match", explained a Carlo Ancelotti who still thinks there is League.

The Current Situation of Real Madrid

"We have created a lot of opportunities, we have been very close to scoring goals. It may be that there was a lack of effectiveness, of ball recovery... Opponents don't need to work much to score against us", commented the Italian.

Valencia ended up winning the match with a counterattack goal by Hugo Duro in the 95th minute. "In the end, we took risks to try to win because the draw was useless, and they caught us on the counter", he added.

"We have lost the opportunity to fight for the League with more forcefulness. Arsenal is going to attack more, so we will have to be more solid at the back and have greater effectiveness than today", explained Carlo Ancelotti.

"We have to take into account small details that have condemned us. After the penalty, they scored against us from a set piece. These are small details that can change the dynamics of the match", he highlighted.

However, Carlo Ancelotti's opinion remains very clear. "Valencia played their match with fantastic work, but Real Madrid deserved to win. Let no one doubt it", he said.

His Opinion on Vinícius's Condition

"It's been a complicated season for the kickers. Bellingham missed against Valencia in Mestalla, Mbappé missed in Bilbao and in Liverpool... I've tried to give confidence to Vinícius and he missed this one too", commented Carlo Ancelotti.

Additionally, the DAZN signal picked up boos at a certain moment. Whistles that seemed to be directed toward Vinícius. "I think the boos won't affect him, he's very focused on what he's doing", he added.

Finally, Carlo Ancelotti revealed the chances Courtois has of playing against Arsenal next Tuesday. "Courtois has trained and has had good feelings. (...) I think we have chances to recover both for Tuesday", he concluded.
