Carlo Ancelotti expressed frustration over Real Madrid's missed opportunities in their 2-1 loss to Valencia, which features two goals from Mouctar Diakhaby and Hugo Duro. Despite Madrid controlling the game with 21 chances and a significant expected goals count, they failed to secure a win. Ancelotti indicated that the team's chances for the LaLiga title have reduced considerably but emphasized the need to concentrate on upcoming Copa del Rey and Champions League matches against tougher opponents like Barcelona and Arsenal. He encouraged players to maintain focus and improve defensively while maximizing scoring chances.
"We have lost the opportunity to fight for the league with more forcefulness, but the [Copa del Rey final] against Barcelona and the Arsenal clash will be different."
"It's a fact that it is not that hard for our opponents to score against us at the moment. But that is no use moaning about it."
