Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti lamented his side's defensive mistakes and missed opportunities in their 3-3 draw at Rayo Vallecano on Saturday, but said he was not worried about the result, praising his players' effort. Despite acknowledging the lack of focus in defence, Ancelotti said he saw plenty of positives from his side who he believes are moving in the right direction.
Madrid missed the chance to move above leaders Barcelona in La Liga as they stay second on 37 points from 17 matches, one behind the Catalans who host Leganes on Sunday when Atletico, in third-place on 35 from 16 games, welcome Getafe. Jude Bellingham continued his stellar record in front of goal after scoring in the 45th minute to level the game.
The 21-year-old has now netted six times and provided four assists in 13 league games this season. 'It was a complete game, which also included many errors, but I thought we didn't suffer as much as the final result would suggest,' Ancelotti said. Carlo Ancelotti explained that he remains optimistic about Real Madrid's chances next year.
Jude Bellingham continued his bright form in front of goal, scoring on the stroke of half-time. Rayo Vallecano earned a vital point against the champions, moving further from the drop zone. 'I was much more worried about those draws against Mallorca and Las Palmas... Now we have the attitude and commitment of last year and that is promising.
