It was a disappointing afternoon for Real Madrid on Sunday as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Rayo Vallecano in Vallecas. Not only that, they have also lost Dani Carvajal and Eduardo Camavinga for next weekend's clash with Sevilla, as both will be forced out due to suspension.
Carlo Ancelotti was far from happy with the result, as he told the media in his post-match press conference (via Brand).
“We are not happy after this draw. We were good until the penalty, our game changed after that and we got nervous.
“Playing here is always difficult. There were a lot of duels and fights. Rayo was good. We have a point, we are not happy. But maybe in the future this could be a good point.”
Ancelotti also rejected any suggestion that his players have been affected by the ongoing speculation regarding Kylian Mbappe, who is close to joining Real Madrid this week.
“When have we not been focused? We are still focused, even today. To blame this team for something this season is very difficult.”
Real Madrid they will hope to bounce back when they meet in Sevilla, although without Carvajal and Camavinga is far from ideal for Ancelotti.
