The Los Blancos suffered their first La Liga defeat this season and are now two points behind Barcelona in the league table.
This defeat brought an end to Real’s 12-game unbeaten streak in La Liga and drop their position in the standings.
“We weren’t convincing in the individual duels,” Ancelotti said in his post-match news conference. “Sometimes, when you can’t match the attitude, quality alone can’t win you the game. We lost a lot of balls and we suffered with their pressing. It was a bad night.”
They will host Cadiz on Thursday night before La Liga takes a seven-week break for the World Cup.
“In terms of quality we dropped off a bit,” Ancelotti said. “Rodrygo [Goes] and Vinicius [Junior] missed some chances that they’d usually score. It wasn’t a good game. [Marco] Asensio did well, but the others weren’t as good as usual.”
