Carlo Ancelotti surpasses Miguel Muñoz and becomes the coach with the most titles with Real Madrid, 15. Today he beat Pachuca, a Mexican club, 3-0, a match valid for the Intercontinental Cup.
Perhaps the least expected protagonist; not because of his value, but because he was in doubt to play this match, especially from the start, given the injury suffered a few days ago. We are talking about Kylian Mbappé, who in addition to scoring the first goal in the 37th minute after dictating a fantastic phrase together with the other two of the BMV Bellingham and Vinicius Jr, scored the 2-0 assist for Rodrygo’s goal in the 53rd. Then the penalty scored by Vinicius ended the match in the 84th.
In the first half, at 0-0, a penalty was awarded to Pachuca, which was then annulled after a VAR review.
It wasn’t an easy match for Real Madrid, 12 total shots for the Mexicans of which 4 on target, but once again the blancos proved that they are masters of finals. And Carletto responded to those who said he had lost control of the players.
Real Madrid, Ancelotti’s conference: «Everything in football is not a walk in the park, even if you won the Champions League and signed Mbappé»
What importance do you attach to this match?
«We are better than a month ago. And it is a unique match, a unique opportunity. We are very excited.”
Do you think you’ve lost control of the players? Because they say he’s not playing well…
«A difficult question. I didn’t lose it, of course not. In football you go through difficult times, it always has. Sometimes they arrive in October-November and sometimes in April-May. The important thing is to move forward. If it happens in October or November, you can still save the day and we are doing that. I’m sure we will be very competitive in the second half of the season. I can assure you that I have not lost control.”
