“He asked for the substitution” – Carlo Ancelotti calms Kylian Mbappe injury concerns

Real Madrid faced a tense finish on Tuesday but ultimately secured a victory against Alaves at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The La Liga champions initially established a comfortable three-goal advantage, yet two late goals from Alaves heightened the tension, though they fell short of equalizing.

In his post-match press conference, Carlo Ancelotti reflected on the late-game anxiety, stating, "That’s football. A single mistake can boost the confidence of the opposing team. This is a common occurrence in the sport.

While we aim to avoid it, it can happen. For the first 60 minutes, we performed excellently."
