Vallejo also made a rare appearance to give Militão some rest. The team looked strong and full-strength for the match.
Carlo Ancelotti marked his 300th game as Real Madrid manager, a milestone achieved only by Miguel Muñoz. Ancelotti’s win percentage of 70. 7% ranks second all-time behind Jose Mourinho, but Ancelotti has won 14 trophies compared to Mourinho’s three. While many fans gave him a standing ovation, some critics expressed disappointment over the team’s slow start to the season.
