LaLiga Ancelotti reacts as Real Madrid loses top spot to Barcelona after Osasuna draw. Following Sunday’s 1-1 tie with Osasuna, Carlo Ancelotti, the manager of Real Madrid, refrained from placing the responsibility on Karim Benzema.
When Benzema fired a late penalty off the crossbar, Los Blancos squandered the opportunity to win all three points.
Before Kike Garcia’s equalizing goal in the second half, Vinicius Jr. had given the LaLiga champions the lead.
Real dropped to second position behind rival Barcelona on goals difference as a result of failing to earn three points.
“We should have converted a penalty, but we didn’t. It’s common for setbacks to occur. According to Ancelotti, this is football.
“Benzema has contributed; nonetheless, he missed the penalty after a superb performance. It’s an accident that occasionally occurs. Forward motion is required.
