Carlo Ancelotti revealed cause of Vini sadness
Speaking ahead of their UEFA Champions League clash with AC Milan on Tuesday night, Carlo Ancelotti responds to question if Vinicius Junior is sad for losing the Balllon d’or.
“How is Vinicius? He is not sad because of what happened to him (at the Ballon d’or), he is sad because of the tragedy in Valencia.”
Real Madrid’s last game remains the 4-0 defeat to Barcola, who has now extended their gap-lead at the top of the league to nine points following their derby win over Espanyol on Sunday.
Carlo Ancelotti will hope Vinicius Junior will continue his good form in Europe, where he scored a hat-trick in their comeback win over Dortmund last time out, when they take on his former employer, Milan in the Bernabeu.
