Carlo Ancelotti <\/strong><\/p>\n Carlo Ancelotti said he \u201cdidn\u2019t understand\u201d two key handball decisions that Real Madrid overcame in a 3-2 win at Sevilla on Sunday, saying recent impressive wins against Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea gave the team the belief they needed to turn the game around.<\/p>\n Ivan Rakitic and Erik Lamela put Sevilla 2-0 up inside 25 minutes at the Sanchez Pizjuan, before second-half substitutes Rodrygo and Nacho leveled, and Karim Benzema scored a 92nd minute winner to leave Madrid 15 points clear at the top of La Liga.<\/p>\n The match saw several controversial moments involving referee Guillermo Cuadra Fernandez, who decided not to award Madrid a first-half penalty for a handball by Diego Carlos, before sparing Eduardo Camavinga a second yellow card for a foul on Anthony Martial, and disallowing a second-half Vinicius Junior goal.<\/p>\n \u201cWe honestly don\u2019t understand how they can give a handball for Vinicius and not for Diego Carlos,\u201d Madrid manager, Carlo Ancelotti, said after the match. \u201cI know it\u2019s difficult to evaluate these situations, but we don\u2019t understand it. A red card for Camavinga, and the plan would have been complete! Vinicius guaranteed me that he didn\u2019t touch the ball with his arm.\u201d<\/p>\n Carlo Ancelotti reacts on the sidelines during Real Madrid\u2019s win over Sevilla in La Liga.<\/p>\n \u201cThis team is capable of doing special things,\u201d he added. \u201cWe didn\u2019t lose confidence. I think the two games against PSG and Chelsea [in the Champions League round of 16 and quarterfinals] helped us believe. Everybody is waiting for Real Madrid to slip up, but Real Madrid don\u2019t slip up.\u201d<\/p>\n Sevilla coach, Julen Lopetegui, took a contrasting view, saying the Vinicius handball was \u201cvery clear\u201d and \u201ceveryone saw it,\u201d while midfielder Rakitic added: \u201cI don\u2019t know why there\u2019s such a fuss. If it\u2019s a handball, it\u2019s a handball.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI saw it live and it didn\u2019t look like it touched his arm to me,\u201d Ancelotti responded. \u201cThere are things in football that are hard to understand. It\u2019s hard to understand how we played in the first half, and then the second half, the intensity, the quality, the concentration, the attitude.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Carlo Ancelotti Carlo Ancelotti said he \u201cdidn\u2019t understand\u201d two key handball decisions that Real Madrid overcame in a 3-2 win at Sevilla on Sunday, saying recent impressive wins against Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea gave the team the belief they needed to turn the game around.
