Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti spoke to the media after the team’s 3-3 draw with Rayo Vallecano on Saturday. Ancelotti was asked about the penalty, about which he said, “It seems very clear to me on replay. “Clear chances, penalty… nothing more could have been done up front.”
Ancelotti on the performance
“The game was lost, we got it back, then we lacked forcefulness in the area… We played very well for 45 minutes after the 2-0. We created a lot of opportunities. After the 3-3 we tried until the last minute. It is the draw of a united team that has competed. I leave thinking that we are on the right track. I am satisfied.
“Last year we tied here and won the League. It worked out well for us.”
Ancelotti on Vinicius starting from the bench
“Because he played 90 minutes the other day, he had a good game.”
Ancelotti on Rodrygo’s performance
“I loved Rodrygo’s performance, I see a good future ahead. Winning the Intercontinental Cup would be the icing on the cake this year.”
Ancelotti on the difference between this draw and other draws
“I was nervous about the one in Mallorca, the one in Las Palmas… they had affected me a lot, this one didn’t. It was a team with the same attitude as last year. Rodrygo, Camavinga, and soon Alaba have returned… I see a very good 2025.”
Ancelotti on the errors
“We also played a very complete game in that regard… We are not a tall team. Sometimes you have to suffer and we suffered in that sense. We started without many starters. Without seven and the others competed very, very well.”

“Nothing, maybe he should take a little more potassium (laughs).
