Carlo Ancelotti began by saying what he thought about the match: "We didn't start well, but it didn't last long. Then we scored, another one was almost disallowed, a shot from Valverde... Until the penalty we played very well. Then everything changed. It was another match ", with many duels and it was not easy to look for ideas. The draw does not leave us with a good taste."

The journalists came to the conclusion that perhaps the Real Madrid players are distracted by the news that Kylian Mbappé could join the squad. Given this, Carlo Ancelotti answered: When are we not focused? Also today. "To blame this team for something this season is difficult."

"These are issues that I will discuss on a personal level with the players. You can understand a bit of protest in the face of so much duel. I think we played with intensity. Their approach worked out well for them. It is a point that does not make us happy today, but with the time will be given value."
