Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid’s head coach, expressed dissatisfaction with his team’s performance in a 2-1 loss to Real Betis in La Liga on Saturday. He stated, “If we play like this, we won’t win on Tuesday” against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.

Brahim Diaz finished a well-executed play including Kylian Mbappe and Ferland Mendy, giving the visitors a 1-0 lead at Estadio Benito Villamarin within 10 minutes.

However, as the halftime whistle blew, Johnny Cardoso equalised with a header before former Madrid star Isco converted a penalty in the second half.

The result means that FC Barcelona can surge three points clear in the title race if it overcomes Real Sociedad in Montjuic on Saturday afternoon, with Ancelotti hoping that the setback serves as a wake-up call for a UCL last-16 clash with Atleti at the Bernabeu midweek.
