Carlo Ancelotti had a heated exchange of words with Hansi Flick after Barça's 0-4. The Real Madrid coach did not like the celebrations of the Barça bench

Calendar of FC Barcelona

October 26 was a night to forget for Real Madrid. The Merengues lived a nightmare at the Santiago Bernabéu, where FC Barcelona 'subdued' and 'crushed' them with a 0-4 that has made them hit rock bottom.

Although there were hardly any notable 'clashes' on the pitch, on the touchline the tension grew as the culés increased their advantage in the game and in the result. In fact, Carlo Ancelotti, known for keeping calm even in the worst 'storms', ended the match very upset with the culé bench.

After Raphinha's last goal, the Barça bench went out to celebrate the goal in style, and in the middle of the situation something happened that greatly upset 'Carletto' who went out to reproach Hansi Flick for what had happened. Apparently, the Italian would have complained about the Blaugrana players crossing the technical area and invading Madrid's space.

Ancelotti's 'chat' with Flick's assistant

However, what would have ignited Ancelotti's fury is that the second Barça coach, Marcus Sorg, also jumped into the Merengue area. In fact, once the Madrid coach shook hands with Flick at the end of the match, he pointed at Sorg again, to whom he made the "no" gesture with his fingers, while he went very angry to the dressing room tunnel.

Later, in a press conference, 'Carletto' explained what happened. "Something happened with the assistant coach, not with Flick. He was not a gentleman to celebrate in front of the bench. I told Flick and he agreed," he revealed. Flick, for his part, put an end to the controversy by stating that "I have spoken to Carlo. We celebrated the goal and it is a normal situation, perhaps there was something that was not right."
