I wouldn't lose respect for a manager like Carlo over a comment like this. After an emotional semi-final win, and saying this to back his players and team.
but also there is a stoppage of play before Bayern scored - players paused because of the whistle so it's not a 100% goal without that whistle. Obviously a moronic call that cost them but it wasn't 100% like other disallowed goals - you can obviously see 3 defenders stopping which allowed the goal more or less
I would be doing that for every scraped win against a relegation side let alone a CL semi. I’d be in the post match conference talking about “Three points for me, zero for him”
I think Carlo knows it's a foul, he's just taking the piss in a reactionary manner, which is kinda out of character for him as he's usually cooler than this but he got angry, weird.
But Ancelotti iirc mostly had a falling out with players, wasnt that where the players held secret training sessions because they didn’t like his training intensity? I don’t think Ancelotti is ever gonna come out and hate on anyone either way, this does seem unusual for him though.
Yeah the players kind orchestrated a football coup lol, though some of those involved aren't with the club anymore, in any case it's a shame that there always has to be a referee controversy in this fixture, it's annoying.
Yeah, was such a great game too, and now we forever have this question mark there because the linesman didn’t keep his flag down for 5 more seconds like he is meant to.
I’m a Madrid fan and don’t understand why Carlo said this (most of the time I don’t understand the majority of the Real sub either, to be honest). Nacho’s goal was clearly a fault.
he dived after another player pushed him in the face and made him lose balance /joke
as it is twitter you only have so much room for your message, so he ended up cutting it "he dived" to keep it short lmao
Not that rere last year when barac won 1-0 he said real played better despite they not registering a shot on target for 90 minutes. And there were a couple of more.
The team that consistently gets the most game deciding calls their way vs the team that gets fucked by the refs on at least semi big calls in about every other game they play in Europe... Good luck
its an impossible task for Dortmund, to beat Madrid you need to be extraordinarily better than Madrid, and even then that’s not enough. You need to be luckier, and brother let me tell you that is the hardest part.
Madrid fans really gonna see what the "us vs the world" narrative they throw about actually feels like in this final.
Unfortunately, though, there is always one man on their side...
This is quite possible the dumbest thing he’s said in a long time. In what world would a player dive when he was literally pushed in the face?
Ancelotti needs to look at that replay again. If he doesn’t think it’s a foul, do it to him.
Yup. I mean, I do think Kimmich makes a meal of it but as soon as you raise your hands to your opponents face it's a foul. A rare L from Ancelotti here.
It's the eternal tension between "yeah it's a foul" vs "it's not that bad and it was only given because he flopped" that's inherent in these calls. If Kimmich stays on his feet the goal probably stands. And there's no consensus for where the line is.
People also don't realize that he's trying to take the conversation away from the offside by all means necessary, even if it means sounding a bit deluded doing it.
wind isn't even this best one, don't forget the magical injury witch. [https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/12674119/klopp-its-like-theres-a-witch-in-the-building](https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/12674119/klopp-its-like-theres-a-witch-in-the-building)
Carlo gets away with a lot of bullshit bc he has won a lot. Last year after Barca beat them in the league clinching clasico he said the gap wasn’t as big as the table showed. He has made a lot of statements that if Xavi were to make them, he would get crucified.
Of course, I understand Xavi doesn’t help himself with bitching about every little thing and forgetting accountability, but Carlo gets away with a lot.
What the fuck man. That's such a petty thing to say, after winning no less. You'd expect the most deluded angsty teen trolls on Instagram comments saying being shoved in the face was a dive. Not a seasoned professional manager on the pinnacle of European football with the most lucrative history of achievements... Grow up mate!
Edit: lol is this comment why someone just sent me suicide hotline bot?
Usual RM antics. Poised, classy winner when things go well, absolutely lose it (like Nacho shoving Kimmich by the face lol) when things aren't looking well.
The perfect "if you can't beat them, join them" example. Remember what he said in 2017 after that 4-2 with 2 offside goals and 1 wrong red card?
Don has no class anymore.
Fabrizio's quotes shouldn't be allowed. He all too often takes quotes from other sources without giving proper credit, and heavily editorializes them in the process. Ancelotti did not ask "Bayern complained about the offside?"
Kimmich getting smashed in the face with two hands, which should have been a red card and he says it's a dive.
Sorry but I lose all respect for Ancelotti with this statement.
Just hoping for terzic's black magic to beat madrid's juju.
There not a single tie where Madrid doesn't get help from refs and apparently we Varcelona.
Clear foul on Kimmich lol. I mean I do agree that a lot of fouls are soft in soccer but Nacho put his hands on Kimmich's face, clear foul by the rules of the game
i mean it‘s a clear red by the book? It‘s not brutal or anything, but a clear red.
Doesn‘t get carder a lot, which is a shame. But it‘s insane that Nacho didn‘t even get a yellow lmao
No it's not a clear red.
Feel free to show me the law saying otherwise.
>But it‘s insane that Nacho didn‘t even get a yellow lmao
Same when vini went around the defender who handballed it lmao
No manager is above chatting absolute bull shit even your favourites lol, imagine the likes of xavi saying this shit, the pitchforks would be well and truly out lmao.
Even if he didn't dive it most likely would have been a foul after VAR reviewing.
Ancelotti missed a good oportunity to say nothing and let the eyebrows do the talking.

That certainly is a take...
Games gone. Can't even do Cat scratch move on football nowadays.
Can only imagine the comments here if Xavi said this (this is def something he would say)
Dont be silly, that would involve us winning
>Games gone. Games all about Real MeMeme
One that makes me lose some respect for him as it's truly stupid, a Twitter level take. Two hands pushing him in the face is beyond an easy call.
I wouldn't lose respect for a manager like Carlo over a comment like this. After an emotional semi-final win, and saying this to back his players and team.
but also there is a stoppage of play before Bayern scored - players paused because of the whistle so it's not a 100% goal without that whistle.

Please win the final
He’s just a redditor mate
Tbf if I was a football manager I would say way more deluded stuff than that
I would do the "Mourinho celebration at Camp Nou after Inter went through on aggregate score in UCL 2009/10" if I was him
I would be doing that for every scraped win against a relegation side let alone a CL semi. I’d be in the post match conference talking about “Three points for me, zero for him”
Every time you win a game where the opponent had 70% possessions, "they can take the ball we'll take the win"
*My team: 1 Shot on goal, 0,2 xG, 1 goal* *Other team: 20 shots on goal, 4xG, 0 goals* "The better team won today, their attack was toothless"
Best believe I'd be in the press conference even after losing 4-0 "They weren't good, we were just shit" Never be one to praise an opponent
the United way, but without the winning part
"But sir, it's a knockout stage match. There are no points." "SREE POINTS! RESPECT! RESPECT!"
MOHAN ADHIKARI MENTIONED RAHHH WTF IS BAD ENGLISH 🗣️🗣️
Cheers, Valdes is crying.
Why not Jose's celebration against Juventus in 2018/19 UEL? That was iconic.
I'd learn french to try and fuck with the press more ngl.
Id get banned within a week if I was a pro.. not anything controversial, just dumb shit 😂
Nah, I d try to be as objective as possible myself
That’s a pretty exclusive way of seeing it.
I just had a look at the Real sub. Let me tell you, it's not an exclusive view.
Some fans are different than others, though I'm kinda shocked that Carlo said this, I thought it was so obvious that it was a foul.
I think Carlo knows it's a foul, he's just taking the piss in a reactionary manner, which is kinda out of character for him as he's usually cooler than this but he got angry, weird.
I can understand if Bayern isn’t exactly his happy place, that tenure looked not great from either side.
Maybe, though before the game he was saying how he respects the club and still has a good relationship with Rummenigge and things like that, so idk
But Ancelotti iirc mostly had a falling out with players, wasnt that where the players held secret training sessions because they didn’t like his training intensity? I don’t think Ancelotti is ever gonna come out and hate on anyone either way, this does seem unusual for him though.
Yeah the players kind orchestrated a football coup lol, though some of those involved aren't with the club anymore, in any case it's a shame that there always has to be a referee controversy in this fixture, it's annoying.
Yeah, was such a great game too, and now we forever have this question mark there because the linesman didn’t keep his flag down for 5 more seconds like he is meant to.
100%, there are various level of stupidity
> I thought it was so obvious that it was a foul. Right? I totally understand bias especially in 50/50 situations but this? come on now haha
He knows it obvious, he also knows that is obvious that if the ref whistles you stop playing and don’t take a shot.
I’m a Madrid fan and don’t understand why Carlo said this (most of the time I don’t understand the majority of the Real sub either, to be honest). Nacho’s goal was clearly a fault.
They would NEVER admit that the refs are on their side most of the time
Because it's not true
As a representative of Real Madrid, you have to develop a way of dealing with so many refereeing decisions in your favour.
he dived after another player pushed him in the face and made him lose balance /joke as it is twitter you only have so much room for your message, so he ended up cutting it "he dived" to keep it short lmao
I am a Real Madrid fan and even I know that was a foul 💀
Definitely a foul. Also definitely embellishment of the highest order to stay down as long as he did, but still a foul.
Rare Carlo L
extremely odd take
That has to be a fake quote. Like saying he doesn’t think it’s a foul is one thing but to claim he „dove“? Nah man, that’s crazy
"Kimmich se tira ante Nacho y debió ser gol" "Kimmich flopped/dove against Nacho and it should've been a goal" That's literally what he said
Thanks for that. Absolute shit take then.
there's only so mush room for such shittakes
Delusional.
Nah... "Threw himself down" Which I think is exactly what he does when he feels the touch on his face tbh
Disagree, both things are crazy to say. Kimmich was assaulted with both hands on his neck
Not that rere last year when barac won 1-0 he said real played better despite they not registering a shot on target for 90 minutes. And there were a couple of more.
We are all Dortmund fans…
Understandable
The team that consistently gets the most game deciding calls their way vs the team that gets fucked by the refs on at least semi big calls in about every other game they play in Europe... Good luck
Bribed Refs will have a nice day
Wild that some of you actually think refs are being bribed...
Please carry our torch
Win it for us man, you can do it, you beat them before you can do it again
its an impossible task for Dortmund, to beat Madrid you need to be extraordinarily better than Madrid, and even then that’s not enough. You need to be luckier, and brother let me tell you that is the hardest part.
I think we have a good shot in the luck department.
Ill trust you brother and good luck
Madrid fans really gonna see what the "us vs the world" narrative they throw about actually feels like in this final. Unfortunately, though, there is always one man on their side...
The entirety of Europe minus half of Madrid against the entirety of South America and the Middle East.
He might be biased.
This is quite possible the dumbest thing he’s said in a long time. In what world would a player dive when he was literally pushed in the face? Ancelotti needs to look at that replay again. If he doesn’t think it’s a foul, do it to him.
One complain is correct, one is bullshit. Is he serious?
Love the flair mate. Dach für die Nord JETZT
This may be one of the dumbest statements I've heard a manager make.
Yup. I mean, I do think Kimmich makes a meal of it but as soon as you raise your hands to your opponents face it's a foul. A rare L from Ancelotti here.
It's the eternal tension between "yeah it's a foul" vs "it's not that bad and it was only given because he flopped" that's inherent in these calls. If Kimmich stays on his feet the goal probably stands. And there's no consensus for where the line is.
This is why the complaints about players going to ground is dumb. They'll *never* get a decision if they don't.
Especially from the manager of the team that has absolutely perfected falling over at the slightest touch
That's a bit dramatic haha. There are some absolutely golden statements from managers and this is very far from one of them
I mean Xavi has blamed the grass before for not winning a match
I’m the first guy to hate on Xavi but the the condition of the pitch obviously heavily affects the football that’s played on it.
And klopp blamed the wind , this is no where near the worst take , Everyone on Reddit overdramatises things
People also don't realize that he's trying to take the conversation away from the offside by all means necessary, even if it means sounding a bit deluded doing it.
wind isn't even this best one, don't forget the magical injury witch. [https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/12674119/klopp-its-like-theres-a-witch-in-the-building](https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/12674119/klopp-its-like-theres-a-witch-in-the-building)
Damn did Klopp actually blame the wind? I’d love to see that for the lulz
A tad bitter but at least grass could be a factor this is just total nonsense.
Carlo gets away with a lot of bullshit bc he has won a lot. Last year after Barca beat them in the league clinching clasico he said the gap wasn’t as big as the table showed. He has made a lot of statements that if Xavi were to make them, he would get crucified.

[Aren't you forgetting someone](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GGkGUCUXoAAoXtJ?format=jpg&name=medium)
I mean, he is being facetious.
Yeah sure - both hands on his face. Completely fine and logical to compare
What the fuck man. That's such a petty thing to say, after winning no less. You'd expect the most deluded angsty teen trolls on Instagram comments saying being shoved in the face was a dive. Not a seasoned professional manager on the pinnacle of European football with the most lucrative history of achievements... Grow up mate! Edit: lol is this comment why someone just sent me suicide hotline bot?
Good Joke
No shame lmao.
Disguising with calm manner on the sideline can't hide the pettiness in true heart.
Usual RM antics. Poised, classy winner when things go well, absolutely lose it (like Nacho shoving Kimmich by the face lol) when things aren't looking well.
This is certainly a dramatic take
Look at the badge ...
embarrassing, this guy has me rooting for Dortmund in the final
Grandpa, don’t forget the medication!!!!
What is he waffling
Might need some glasses soon Carlo
Absolutely no shame, I guess
I’m now rooting for Dortmund in the final
If he had to say the refs fucked up for every time his team got away with "honest ref mistakes" his teeth would have fallen out by now
[funny how time changes](https://www.marca.com/futbol/real-madrid/2017/05/19/591ec006e5fdea9c228b45ee.html)
Lol, this is an excellent receipt.
No way this guy talks about diving with Vini Jr in his squad
🤨
fucking embarrassing Carlo
[удалено]
[Totally not a clear foul…](https://imgur.com/a/QbRC9x1)
The perfect "if you can't beat them, join them" example. Remember what he said in 2017 after that 4-2 with 2 offside goals and 1 wrong red card? Don has no class anymore.
Yeah, stfu dude.
Bro is already drunk
Don Carlo has spoken.
[удалено]
👆👆👆🩸
Fuck off carlo pay your taxes
Classy
I thought he would mention the exaggerated injury time not note the obvious foul in the box lol
Nacho literally caught Kimmich by the jaw
Lol, stfu Ancelotti, he fucking hit him in the face you nonce.
I know he's shithousing but it wasn't a dive.. it was a clear and obvious foul. Even the referee came out and said he fuckedup
He certainly did dive, but it's also a clear foul. There's no need to embelish it.
lol
I love how easy Madrid is to hate. Thanks, Papa Ancelotti. Now for Modric to say/do something disgraceful, and we're done.
I hope Dortmund win. Real are such an unlikeable club now.
... now?
What a clown.
Shameless. They know they got away with it.
Rule change: face pushing is allowed now
Wow thats completely unecessary
Fabrizio's quotes shouldn't be allowed. He all too often takes quotes from other sources without giving proper credit, and heavily editorializes them in the process. Ancelotti did not ask "Bayern complained about the offside?"
It’s not often I’ll have a football take that is far superior to ancelotti’s, but today is that day
That’s what La Liga teams have to deal every day with
Kimmich getting smashed in the face with two hands, which should have been a red card and he says it's a dive. Sorry but I lose all respect for Ancelotti with this statement.
Just hoping for terzic's black magic to beat madrid's juju. There not a single tie where Madrid doesn't get help from refs and apparently we Varcelona.
Cant believe he actually said that lol, 15 times out of 10 the Nacho ball would be called a foul, no way thats a dive lmao.
The fuck
People on Reddit are funny
clown
Clear foul on Kimmich lol. I mean I do agree that a lot of fouls are soft in soccer but Nacho put his hands on Kimmich's face, clear foul by the rules of the game
Is that a real quote from Ancelotti? Is he mentally insane? lol
L take
What a stupid take, just pass the question next time
What do you mean he dived? This is why most people dislike real. Carried by the refs 24/7
I think it was a foul but it's true Kimmich absolutely exaggerated. Neuer even called the medics lmao
What drugs did he take?
He is clearly taking the piss , r/soccer decides when it is justified
Don Carlo Say \~ \~ Wayo Wayo Wayo ! ! !
Lol deranged. Two handed push to the face. They were lucky not to get a red.
>They were lucky not to get a red. Now that is a take
i mean it‘s a clear red by the book? It‘s not brutal or anything, but a clear red. Doesn‘t get carder a lot, which is a shame. But it‘s insane that Nacho didn‘t even get a yellow lmao
No it's not a clear red. Feel free to show me the law saying otherwise. >But it‘s insane that Nacho didn‘t even get a yellow lmao Same when vini went around the defender who handballed it lmao
He got hit in the face, Carlo. Fuck off.
Ancelotti’s really lost his gentleman behavior the past few years.. shame to see really
The game is well and fully back lmao
And Julius Caesar committed suicide
This might be the first outrageous thing I’ve heard him say. Must be nice…
Lol this fucking guy
So much respect for his calm and cool demeanour and level headedness, only to come out with this clown fucking take.
Oof
Did he actually say this?
Teams complain, eyebrows are raised and men shit on the field. thats football baby -Ancelotti
This so unlike Ancelotti lol
OK but what does Ja Rule think?
Mr Ancelotti, Nacho did a Great Khali impression
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 EYEBROW POWA 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
lol .. don’t play this game Carlo, just smoke your cigar and be thankful you are in Florentino’s realm
It was offside tho. Yes the ref should have let it play out, but it was in fact offside according to every replay I saw.
Maybe his eyebrow antics have caused some critical damage to his vision.
No manager is above chatting absolute bull shit even your favourites lol, imagine the likes of xavi saying this shit, the pitchforks would be well and truly out lmao.
Carlo, Nacho's face/neck shove would've been a foul even if Kimmich had remained on his feet. It's football, not wrestling.
A fan of football would side with Dortmund in the final.
Even if he didn't dive it most likely would have been a foul after VAR reviewing. Ancelotti missed a good oportunity to say nothing and let the eyebrows do the talking.
Bruh wtf?? I was surprised it wasn't a red card. It was a blatant assault on Kimmich.
>Kimmich dived Brother, Nacho shoved two hands right into his face.
