"I thought it was quite normal, he said, adding that all the players and the previous coach had done the same thing."
Real Madrid's coach Carlo Ancelotti is facing trial over allegations of tax fraud involving over â¬1 million in undeclared earnings from image rights. Prosecutors argue that Ancelotti used offshore companies to hide these earnings in 2014 and 2015 and seek a prison sentence of nearly five years along with a hefty fine. During the trial, Ancelotti testified he trusted his advisers with financial matters, never considered himself a target for fraud, and viewed image rights as unimportant compared to his salary.
