"Thorns that wound": Ancelotti responds to Simeone's comments on Real Madrid's "favorable refereeing"

Real Madrid's recent match against Celta Vigo sparked yet another refereeing controversy involving the "Los Blancos." Some of the club’s competitors, including Atletico Madrid’s Diego Simeone, have openly mocked Real, claiming such incidents are unsurprising. However, Real Madrid’s response to the criticism has been lighthearted.

Details: Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti addressed Simeone’s recent remarks, where the Atletico manager claimed that such episodes have been happening for over a century. Ancelotti suggested that the criticism stems from envy, as everyone knows what the club represents.

Quote: "These are things said to entertain the audience. The entire football world knows what Real Madrid stands for with its 125-year history. I think these are thorns that wound," said Ancelotti.

Reminder: Real Madrid's next match will be at home against Las Palmas. A victory would see "Los Blancos" overtake Atletico Madrid and claim the top spot in La Liga’s standings.
