By George Aluo, with agency reports

Real Madrid manager, Carlo Ancelotti has declared he made mistakes in the game against Rayo Monday night a situation that saw his star studded side losing for the first time this term in the La Liga.

Real were beaten 3–2 in a game in which Ancelotti insisted his players lacked their usual killer instinct.

In the words of the coach…”we struggled to bring the ball out and sometimes we need to play long balls in certain situations. So, maybe I, as the coach, made a mistake with that.”

Continuing, Ancelotti added…”We lacked the punch that the opponents had. Our level in that sense was lower and, when that happens, you can’t just rely on your talent. It wasn’t just a physical issue. Maybe the tactics weren’t the best.”
