Coach Ancelotti (Real) was very upset by Bellingham’s disallowed goal, and called this “something unprecedented and never happened” to him personally.
Real and Valencia brought a dramatic and emotional match from the recent 2-2 draw between the two teams. Due to many interruptions in the match, the extra time was extended by the referee. Minute 90+9, Real Madrid had a counterattack and Jude Bellingham put the ball into Valencia’s net.
However, the goal was not recognized because referee Jesus Gil blew the whistle to end the match, right when the Real Madrid player crossed the ball for Jude Bellingham to finish. That’s why it caused a backlash from Real Madrid players. The referee even issued a red card to Jude Bellingham for his reaction.
In the post-match press conference, coach Carlo Ancelotti was very upset when he described this situation as unprecedented. “It was unprecedented because after the counter-attack we controlled the ball. There’s nothing more to say, it’s never happened to me. Bellingham just told the referee it was a “dead goal damn”, clearly it was not an insult. This has never happened to me. The match should have continued when the situation ended. Here, the referee clearly made a mistake “, the Italian teacher declared. According to Ancelotti, not only him personally but also all Real players were angry because they were robbed of victory.
