Real Madrid coach Ancelotti: "It was a bad game"

Real Madrid lost 1-2 to Real Betis, and coach Carlo Ancelotti described it as a bad game.

At the beginning of the game, Real Madrid scored the first goal to gain the advantage. However, Real Madrid could not defend, giving Real Betis the opportunity to overtake. In the press conference after the game, Ancelotti said: "This is a bad game."

"We started well but then we failed to maintain the initial rhythm in terms of attitude and concentration and lost control of the game. Real Betis played better and they deserved the win."

"This defeat is a blow to us. We have to respond. It's hard to lose at this stage of the season because all the teams are competing at full strength and we didn't perform well in this game."

Real Madrid currently drops to third place in the La Liga standings due to the loss, with the same 54 points as second-placed Barcelona, and two points behind first-placed Atletico Madrid. Real Madrid's next game will be on March 5, when they host Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16.

When asked by reporters whether this game would affect the upcoming Champions League, Ancelotti replied: "If we play like this, we will definitely not win the Champions League on Tuesday. This is obvious."

"I hope this defeat can serve as a wake-up call and a lesson. We have been more organized and compact tactically recently, but today's performance was far inferior to the previous games."
