Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti expressed his disappointment over a 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid in LaLiga, stating his team deserved more. After a slow first half, which saw them fail to hit the target, Real Madrid bounced back in the second half, with Kylian Mbappe equalizing shortly after the break. The match was marred by a controversial penalty awarded to Atletico, which Ancelotti noted affected his team's performance. Although frustrated with the outcome, he highlighted not only the competitive nature of the match but also the positive reaction from his players in the latter stages.
I think we deserved more. It was a very good game in the second half. The penalty situation affected the team. We played too slowly before.
In the second half, we took advantage of the width of the field. Vini and Rodry created a lot of danger from the outside.
The VAR blew the whistle for the penalty. The referee was very close and saw it clearly. I saw that the VAR whistled a similar penalty in Athletic Bilbao against Girona.
It was a close, competitive match. As I said, we came out of the match with a draw but encouraged. The team was good in the second half.
