El Clasico: Ancelotti Outraged by Barcelona’s ‘Disrespectful Celebration’
Carlo Ancelotti Criticizes Barcelona's Unsportsmanlike Conduct as Team Struggles for Consistency
- Real Madrid suffered a 4-0 defeat
- Ancelotti confronted a Barcelona assistant over unsportsmanlike celebrations after the fourth goal
- Real Madrid lacks the unity that led to last season’s successes
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti was left fuming after his side’s humiliating 4-0 defeat to Barcelona in El Clasico.
The Italian tactician took particular umbrage at the behavior of a Barcelona assistant coach who celebrated excessively in front of the Real Madrid bench after their fourth goal.
Ancelotti expressed his disappointment, stating, “The assistant was not a gentleman with the way he celebrated in front of the bench.” He added that even Hansi Flick, the German national team coach, agreed with his assessment.
While Real Madrid’s on-field performance was undoubtedly poor, with Kylian Mbappe’s goals ruled out by offside calls, the off-field incident has added fuel to the fire.
The defeat has highlighted the team’s inconsistency this season, raising concerns about their ability to defend their La Liga and Champions League titles.
