The pill will be hard to swallow for Real Madrid. Held in check on his lawn at the Santiago-Bernabéu on Tuesday evening (1-1), in the semi-final first leg of the Champions League against Manchester City, the Madrid club saw the sky fall on him. As Kevin de Bruyne equalized in the 67th minute to respond to Vinícius Júnior, a 3D image shared by the broadcaster bein Sports revealed that the ball had previously crossed the limits of the field.

A situation that did not leave Carlo Ancelotti indifferent, furious after the meeting and stripped of his usual phlegm.
