Real Madrid, already crowned champion of Spain and with a deeply reorganized team, lost last night during the derby against Atlético Madrid (0-1). A meeting that tipped at the end of the first period on a penalty that has been controversial since last night, following a foul by Vallejo on Cunha that the Madrid defender had a little trouble digesting after the meeting.
“The referee told me he had to whistle him. We respect the decisions, but we should differentiate if it is a gesture that unbalances the player or if he was already unbalanced ”.
Vallejo’s scathing analysis contrasts with Carlo Ancelotti’s detachment after the game. The subject of the penalty not having arrived on the menu of the press conference of the Italian technician after the match, Ancelotti chose to have fun in front of the journalists. “Aren’t we talking about the penalty today? “, dropped the coach all smiles when leaving the press room.
❗No journalist asked Ancelotti about the penalty and he left the press conference saying: “We don’t talk about the penalty today? (Laughs)”
