Real Madrid returned with a valuable victory from Celta Vigo, beating them 2-1 in the match that brought the two teams together in the tenth round of the Spanish League at Balaídos Stadium on Saturday evening.

 

With this result, Carlo Ancelotti’s team reaches 24 points, tying with the leader, Barcelona, who has a tough match against Sevilla on Sunday evening in the same round.

According to information from the Spanish newspaper Defensa Central, the Italian coach, despite the victory, is not satisfied with the team’s performance tonight, as Celta Vigo nearly equalized after several opportunities to score.

 

The newspaper added that Ancelotti is very frustrated with the team’s duo, Lucas Vázquez and German defender Antonio Rüdiger, due to the mistakes they made tonight that almost cost the team valuable points.

Despite scoring the winning goal, Ancelotti is upset with the performance of Brazilian player Vinícius Júnior and his excessive selfishness, which caused his teammate Bellingham to lose his composure.

 

Ancelotti warned Vinícius against such actions that harm the team and asked him to prioritize the team’s interests over his personal ones; otherwise, the consequences could be severe.

Ancelotti spoke with his son and assistant, Davide, after the match, emphasizing the need to sign a right-back in the winter, as Lucas Vázquez does not have the level required to be Real Madrid’s main right-back throughout the season.

 

The newspaper also noted that Ancelotti was pleased with the performance of Tchouaméni against Celta Vigo, especially after a series of lackluster displays in previous matches. He told him, “This is the Tchouaméni we love.”

Additionally, it was reported that Florentino Pérez went directly to the team’s dressing room after the match, specifically seeking out Real Madrid’s outstanding star Luka Modrić to congratulate him on his magical performance after coming on as a substitute, proving that age is just a number for him.

 

The newspaper concluded by stating that Pérez requested Ancelotti to remove Spanish player Ferran García from the team’s starting lineup this season to prevent him from jeopardizing the team’s campaign due to his recklessness and poor positioning on the field, unless an offer comes in for him that allows the team to part ways with him.
