Ancelotti Says Copa del Rey Defeat to Barcelona Hurt Him
Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has admitted he was left hurt after his side’s painful loss to Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final on Saturday night.
Ancelotti watched his team battle hard but fall short as Barcelona edged a 3-2 win to lift the trophy. Goals from Pedri, Ferran Torres, Aurélien Tchouaméni, and Kylian Mbappé saw the match locked at 2-2 after full-time, before Jules Kounde grabbed the winner for Hansi Flick’s side in extra time. After the match, Ancelotti said it was tough to accept because Real Madrid had fought till the end.
“We dominated the second half and gave everything. I can’t fault the players, they did their best,” he said. “I’m hurt because we were so close to winning.” He added that the team would now turn their full focus to La Liga, where they are currently second, trailing Barcelona by four points.
Ademola Lookman has praised Atlético Madrid following their 2–0 victory over Barcelona.
It can be noted that the match ended 2–0, with goals scored by Julián Álvarez and Alexander Sørloth.
Speaking in a recent interview, Lookman commended the team’s performance and unity “It was a good result. The performance of the team, especially not to concede here, shows the work everyone’s been doing and the togetherness.”
Young Arsenal player Max Dowman is making headlines after reaching a major milestone—becoming the youngest player to feature in the UEFA Champions League knockout stages.
The previous record was held by Lamine Yamal, who made his appearance at 16 years and 223 days. Dowman, however, has now broken that record at just 16 years and 97 days.
The youngster continues to show great promise, adding another impressive achievement to his early career.
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s chances of winning the Premier League this season.
The club had been leading the title race but suffered two consecutive losses, shaking fans’ confidence and raising doubts about their consistency.
Carragher admitted that while Arsenal have been impressive overall, the recent losses were disappointing.
“It was a big result for Arsenal but it wasn’t a great performance. The real question is: if they play like that for the rest of the season, will they win the league? We’ll see.”
