Carlo Ancelotti, the coach of Real Madrid, has found himself at the center of an unexpected controversy, and it all stems from his lips.
Following the dramatic 3-3 draw between Rayo Vallecano and Real Madrid on Saturday night, Ancelotti shocked both fans and journalists during the post-match press conference.
Two points, in particular, caught everyone’s attention: first, his analysis of the match, which he deemed “good” despite differing opinions, and second, his unusual appearance, with a noticeable distortion on his lower lip.
Initially, some speculated that he may have undergone cosmetic surgery, possibly Botox injections. However, the newspaper AS quickly clarified the situation:
The 64-year-old coach was actually suffering from an allergy that caused the temporary deformation. This explanation was particularly surprising because nothing in the match footage had hinted at such an incident.
The situation added an odd twist to the evening, especially as his comments on the team’s performance also sparked mixed reactions.
