Real Madrid manager CarloAncelotti has shared details of a tense exchange with Barcelona during their 4-0 defeat in El Clasico on Saturday.
Ancelotti’s frustrations flared after Barcelona’s fourth goal, scored by Raphinha, and he was visibly upset with the celebration that followed.
After the goal, Ancelotti approached Hansi Flick, the Barcelona assistant coach, for a brief exchange that carried over to full time.
When asked to clarify, Ancelotti said, “something happened with the assistant, not with Flick.”
The Real Madrid manager elaborated, stating, “He wasn’t a gentleman when celebrating the goal towards our bench. Flick agreed with us and that’s it.”
Barcelona’s dominant performance, with Robert Lewandowski scoring twice, extended their lead at the top of La Liga to six points.
Reflecting on the situation, Flick admitted to speaking with Ancelotti, explaining, “We celebrated the goal, and it is a normal situation; perhaps there was something that was not right.”
