Ancelotti Addresses Criticism After Real Madrid Win

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti faced criticism from fans after a 5-2 Copa del Rey victory over Celta Vigo, following a preceding 5-2 loss to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup. Fans expressed their dissatisfaction through boos and whistles due to the team's defensive lapses, which allowed Celta Vigo to equalize late in the game before Real Madrid secured the win in extra time. Ancelotti described the fans' reaction as an 'acceptable wake-up call,' acknowledging the need for improvement, particularly in defense during the final minutes of matches. Despite this criticism, Ancelotti remains confident in his position, citing good relations with club management and emphasizing the importance of learning from mistakes. The emergence of young talents like Endrick, who scored twice, was a silver lining, showcasing Real Madrid's potential resilience and depth.
