Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has stated that small margins were the deciding factor in their 3-2 loss to Barcelona in Saturday’s Copa del Rey final.

Los Blancos came from behind to take the lead, with second-half goals from substitute Kylian Mbappe and Aurelien Tchouameni.

However, Ferran Torres scored a late equalizer, sending the match into extra time in Seville.

Just as both teams seemed headed for penalties, Jules Kounde capitalized on a mistake to score the winning goal.

Ancelotti has since acknowledged that a mix-up between captain Luka Modric and Brahim Diaz led to the error that allowed Kounde to net the decisive strike.

“Was it Modric’s mistake or Brahim’s? Brahim thought Luka would have played the pass to feet and not in front,” Ancelotti said as per reports from Marca.

“Kounde then shoots low and hard into the goal. These are small details that sometimes cost you nothing, and other times they cost you a lot.

“We have two days to rest now. Then we will prepare for two important games against Celta Vigo and Barcelona.”
