Sunday, April 6, 2025 - Real Madrid boss, Carlo Ancelotti, has reacted to Vinicius Jr.’s penalty miss in their 2-1 loss to Valencia on Saturday.
The Brazilian was booed by Real Madrid faithful in the first
half of the game after he missed the penalty.
The Italian manager spoke about the boos and said the
Brazilian was focused no matter the challenges he faces at Santiago Bernabéu.
“Vinicius is focused on what he’s doing. He may play well or
poorly, but he’s focused on what he’s doing,” the former Chelsea and Everton
boss told reporters after the game.
The Italian also talked about the title race, saying it was
not over yet.
The manager added, “It’s much more difficult to fight for
the league title now, but we’re determined to do well until the end.
“We have a chance, less so after this match, but we have to
fight until the end. It’s a complicated season in terms of penalties.
“Bellingham, Mbappé, and Vinicius have missed. I’ve tried to
give him confidence, but he missed this one too.”
With the defeat to Valencia, Real Madrid fell 4 points
behind Barcelona in the La Liga title race.
