Real Madrid 1-1 Man City: Carlo Ancelotti says referee was 'not paying attention', Pep Guardiola wants City to ‘learn’

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti says referee Artur Soares Dias was «not paying attention» during Real Madrid's 1-1 draw with Manchester City in the Champions League semi-final first leg. City and Madrid were forced to settle for a draw on Tuesday evening as Vinicius Jr and Kevin De Bruyne both scored stunners in a tight first leg. Ad Ancelotti was shown a yellow card for protesting against De Bruyne’s equaliser.

Ancelotti has accused the referee of «not paying attention» throughout the match. He said in his press conference: «It's hard.

It's not me saying it, it's technology saying it. I think it's strange they couldn't control it properly but we could have won 1-0. It wouldn't have changed a lot 1-0 but small details could have won us the game.

»The referee wasn't paying a lot of attention. He gave me a yellow card and I was not playing. The players, I believe, deserve more cards all over the pitch.

He was not paying a lot of attention." BT Sport pundit Joleon Lescott said: “There’s a case for both [arguments]. “There’s a lot that happens since that incident. There’s a sloppy pass from [Eduardo] Camavinga and I don’t know how or why they were giving Kevin De Bruyne so much space here on the edge of the box because he’s one of the cleanest strikers of the football.” “He didn’t have a great angle,” added Michael Owen.
