Real Madrid won a great game against Napoli in the UEFA Champions League. Napoli started the match winning, with a goal from Ostigard with a header. When it seemed that Real Madrid could lose points, Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Jr appeared to turn the game around. However, everything changed with the controversial play of the match...

Napoli received a penalty, since the referee considered that there was a handball by Nacho Fernandez, however, he made a resounding mistake even despite having seen the VAR. Napoli did not forgive and tied the Spanish club 2-2. Despite winning in the end, Carlo Ancelotti spoke about the controversial play in the post-match press conference.

Finally, the outcome in favor of Real Madrid was consolidated with a powerful shot by Federico Valverde that, unfortunately for Napoli, ended in an own goal by goalkeeper Alex Meret. This victory has reaffirmed the team's dominant position under Ancelotti, demonstrating its ability to face challenges and stay on top both domestically and internationally.

Ancelotti's release

"It wasn't a penalty, it was a rebound from Nacho. You can't cut off your hand, and I think the rule says that you can't whistle on a rebound," he explained about this controversial play that sent Real Madrid reeling on Italian soil. Then the coach acknowledged that his team “could have done better with the first goal,” making it clear that Kepa did not respond in the best way.
