The head coach of Madrid's «Real» Carlo Ancelotti commented on the defeat in the match of the 22nd round of La Liga against «Espanyol» (0:1). The Italian tactician noted the referee's decision during the moment of the foul by the author of the only goal, Carlos Romero, against Kylian Mbappe.
Carlo Ancelotti, Getty Images«The referee's decision and VAR are incomprehensible. The most important thing is to protect the player, and this was a clear foul, a truly terrible tackle with injury risk. Fortunately, nothing happened, but the risk was there. VAR also exists to prevent this. We believe that the decision not to show a red card is impossible to explain.
This was a difficult, tough game. We did some things well, we controlled the situation well, especially in the second half. Our goal was ruled out, we hit the post and had 20 shots on target. The game was under control, but 'Espanyol', which played very well on the counterattack, caught us by surprise and scored. They played as they wanted,» — quotes Ancelotti the press service of «Real».
