Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti issued a stern warning to his team despite their thrilling 2-1 comeback victory against Valencia at Mestalla on Friday. While praising the resilience shown in the second half, Ancelotti criticized the inconsistency of his team’s performance, highlighting the stark contrast between their efforts in each half.

Luka Modric and Jude Bellingham delivered late heroics, with Modric equalizing in the 85th minute and Bellingham scoring a dramatic winner in added time. This came after Real Madrid had been reduced to 10 men following Vinícius Júnior’s 79th-minute red card. Earlier, Hugo Duro had given Valencia the lead before the half-hour mark.

Ancelotti pulled no punches in his assessment of the match, emphasizing the need for consistency:

“It’s difficult to explain how bad we were in the first half and how good we were in the second, and with a man down,” Ancelotti told reporters. “We deserved three points, but we can’t show these two sides. Tremendously bad in the first half, tremendously good in the second with 10 men.”

The victory not only showcased Real Madrid’s fighting spirit but also pushed them two points ahead of Atlético Madrid at the top of LaLiga. However, Ancelotti’s warning highlights the challenges that remain as the team continues their pursuit of the title.

Madridistas will take comfort in the team’s ability to respond under pressure, but Ancelotti’s message is clear: Real Madrid cannot afford to have such contrasting performances if they hope to maintain their position at the top of the league.
