On 2 March, the match of the 27th round of La Liga between Valencia and Real Madrid took place at the Mestalla. The game ended with a score of 2:2. After the end of the meeting, the head coach of the "creamy" Carlo Ancelotti held a press conference, where he answered the questions of journalists. Unsurprisingly, it was exclusively about the scandalous episode in the last minute:

- There's not much to say, it's something unprecedented. We had possession after the rebound and the game had to be stopped when Valencia would have won the ball back. This has never happened to me before, but there's nothing more to add.
- Rüdiger looked very excited....
- Antonio is hot, angry..... logical. But we have to get back to normal. We performed well, there were some good moments, and while there are others we should improve on, we need to cool down a bit and get on with it. It's a little hot in the locker room.
- Is what happened tonight a scandal?
- It's something unprecedented, that's the word I want to use. It's never happened to me before. It was unprecedented.
- Now Bellingham could miss a few games ...
- His redshirt worries us. He frankly admitted to what he said, vehemently approached something normal after what happened and said "It's a bloody goal". But he didn't say any insults, he was just upset. But he didn't say any insults, not at all. We'll see what they write in the protocol.
- How do you rate Vinicius' performance?
- It was good - being decisive and more effective in the penalty box than outside it.
- Does this match cause any anxiety?
- No. It was a very, very difficult match against a strong opponent, well organised, aggressive, intense. We were able to come back into the game after 0:2 and even managed to win, but as I said about the other draws, we need to keep it up.
- Are you even angrier now, because after 0:2... you could have won?
- I have some doubts about my feelings, I also thought we could lose..... but it's true that we could have won. I stick to the golden mean.
