Carlo Ancelotti expressed concerns after Real Madrid's 2-1 defeat to Real Betis, indicating the match could have 'costly' repercussions in their LaLiga title effort. Despite an early lead from Brahim Díaz, Madrid struggled to maintain control, conceding two goals including a penalty from former player Isco. Ancelotti noted the team's inability to sustain their rhythm, particularly criticizing the 27 turnovers in the first half. Madrid is also gearing up for crucial matches in the Champions League and Copa del Rey, emphasizing the need for immediate improvement in performance.
"It was a bad game. We started well, but then we couldn't maintain our rhythm. We lost control of the game, against a team that played better than us and deserved to win."
"This is a real blow. We have to react. Losing at this stage of the season is costly. We lost the ball 27 times in the first half. That's too many."
"If we play like this, we won't win on Tuesday, that's quite clear. I hope this will wake us up."
"[Mbappé] had a problem this week [with his tooth] and he hasn't trained much. He wasn't at his best, that was obvious."
