Real Madrid emerged as the leader from Montjuic, in their second consecutive victory in Barcelona against Barça, with Jude Bellingham elevated to a world star in his first classic. The double of the English footballer, who already has 10 goals in the League and 3 in the Champions League, pushed a lukewarm Real Madrid, very poor in the effort in the first half and transformed after the break, with the supposed 'Ancelottina' on the table. “I have told them in the locker room that these games can be lost, but we have to play differently, with more motivation, more energy. I think they were in agreement because of what they did in the second half,” the Italian coach declared before the press.
On the microphones, a name: Bellingham. “Everyone is surprised at his level. always tries. “He seems like a veteran and his tying goal has changed the dynamic, we had more strength and more energy.”. “It's made a difference,” Carletto added.
From the 60th minute onwards, Madrid controlled the match more, to the delight of Ancelotti: “We had a different attitude in the second half compared to the first.. First part slow, not very aggressive…. But in the second part the opposite is true.. It has been a forgettable first part.”
Xavi, for his part, said that “Madrid's victory is unfair”. “Bellingham has made a difference. I think the second goal is a mistake on our part and the first one is a big shot.. Today effectiveness makes the difference. In the game we deserved much more.”
The other protagonist of the duel was Vinicius, who left the field applauding the stands, being held by the hand by Ancelotti himself and receiving racist insults from some fans.. “Fucking monkey, fucking monkey!” was heard in Montjuic. LaLiga sources claim to have detected these insults and the Security, Legal, Communication and Digital teams are already working to prepare the complaint that will be filed.
“He left very calmly, I told him he had to leave a little faster. “I helped him get out,” Ancelotti explained about the moment of the change.
The Brazilian also had a small clash with Xavi, who avoided giving him advice: “I'm not his coach, I have a lot of respect for him.”. “I'm not the one who is going to generate bad vibes in any way.”
