Ancelotti apologizes to Real Madrid player in the dressing room before facing Barcelona

Real Madrid secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Getafe in their final match before El Clásico, a match in which Carlo Ancelotti relied on rotation, with his sights set on Saturday’s Copa del Rey final.

The Italian coach, who has been widely criticized for not giving younger players opportunities, took to the pitch at the Colosseum accompanied by Arda Guler and Endrick.

The Real Madrid coach’s gamble paid off with a stunning goal from the Turkish player, which secured the three points for Real Madrid, keeping them in the league title race with Barcelona.

In the dressing room, Carlo Ancelotti and Arda Güler exchanged some words, at which point the coach apologized to the Turkish player, saying: “Perhaps you deserved to play more minutes this season…”

These words were greatly appreciated by Guler, who, after his goal, proved that his relationship with his coach is unbeatable, especially with the hug he gave him, thus dispelling all the media hype and anti-Real Madrid fanaticism of late.
