Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti acknowledged his team’s defensive slip-ups but pointed to a tactical shift as the culprit.
“Defensive problems? We were solid in the first half,” Ancelotti stated, defending his squad. “Later, we took more risks to equalize, so we conceded.”
The veteran coach highlighted the balance between defense and ambition, as Madrid’s late push for a comeback left them vulnerable at the back.
Despite criticism, Ancelotti remains confident his approach will pay off as his team seeks to regain form and shore up their defense without compromising their attacking edge.
