Real Madrid shared the spoils with Rayo Vallecano at 1-1 on Sunday, losing two crucial points in the La Liga title race. Speaking to the media following the game, Carlo Ancelotti was asked whether it's Mbappe news that prevented Los Blancos from focusing on the game.
As a reminder, the Frenchman has announced his decision to leave PSG at the end of this campaign and is close to sealing the deal with Madrid.
That's a ridiculous question to ask, though Carlo remained composed and delivered a thoughtful response.
"When have we not been focused? We are always focused, today too. And there's nothing to reproach this team for this season."
Indeed, despite all the setbacks, the Whites are actually having an amazing season. They are still top of La Liga and have only lost two of the 36 games they've played so far.
If there's something to blame for the draw, it's the lack of fit players, and a certain Frenchman has absolutely nothing to do with it.
