Carlo Ancelotti unhappy Girona given penalty that cost Real Madrid two points in La Liga race
Carlo Ancelotti, the manager of Real Madrid, was not at all pleased with the refereeing during Sunday's 1-1 La Liga tie with Girona at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Vinicius Jr.'s second-half goal for Girona gave Los Blancos the impression that they would win all three points, but a penalty 10 minutes later changed everything.
When it was determined that Marco Asensio had handled the ball within the Real Madrid box, Cristhian Stuani converted the penalty to tie the score at one.
As the ball appeared to strike Asensio's chest first, Ancelotti disagreed with the decision to award a penalty.
I usually don't like to talk about this, but I will today. The first circumstance is obvious; there is no foul because his hand did not touch the ball. I spoke with Asensio, and he claims that he struck him in the chest, according to Marca.
The second scenario raises further questions. Although there was no obvious control, the rule is clear, and you can express your view there. I'm not going to talk about it.
"What surprises me is the penalty. It was called correctly, even if it lost us a lot of the game, and it came at a crucial time. We now have two fewer points available after this circumstance.
When questioned if the officials' mistakes contributed to the loss, Ancelotti responded, "I don't know if we didn't win because of it. The game has been impacted by this episode.
Although we were able to play better, the season's current stage makes it challenging to play at a very high level.
Yes, the left hand is in a slightly peculiar position. There might be a question if he touches the ball with his hand, but he only refuses to give the ball to it with his hand. They invented it.
