The troubling and awkward moments from last night’s match at Civitas Metropolitano have sparked discussions beyond football. Real Madrid achieved a crucial draw against Atletico Madrid, maintaining their unbeaten streak and inching closer to Barcelona in the La Liga table.
In his press conference, Carlo Ancelotti noted, “It was a game where both teams had their moments, and it could have turned out differently. Our goal was to improve defensively compared to last year, and we succeeded in that. We could have played with more speed, but we must consider the frequency of our matches; we can’t maintain full pace in every game.”
However, Ancelotti expressed disappointment in one player’s performance, as Antonio Rudiger struggled, committing multiple errors that allowed the opponent to create scoring opportunities. He was not as solid defensively as he has been in the past.
After the match, Carlo Ancelotti took time to discuss Antonio Rudiger’s mistakes, particularly the one that led to a goal. Following Real Madrid’s draw against Atletico Madrid, Rudiger faced significant criticism for his performance. Reports indicated that the German defender was frequently caught breaking the offside line, which could have jeopardized Los Blancos’ chances in the match.
