Ancelotti addresses Mbappe concerns after Real Madrid's victory over Alaves

Ancelotti later remarked, "We were handed four or five yellow cards for protesting. The referees seem to have a different approach to officiating now, and we need to adjust to it. Regardless of its fairness, we must refrain from protesting and acclimate ourselves to the updated regulations."

"That's football. When you think the game is over, all it takes is a little slip-up for them to get the first goal. Then the confidence of the opponent goes up. We certainly don't want it to, but it can happen sometimes. It happened and it'll happen a lot of times in football. The team played very well for 60 minutes and we take confidence from that."

On Mbappé's substition, he continued: "He's fine. He was a bit tired and asked me to come off to avoid problems."

On Jude Bellingham, he added: "He's improving. He set up Mbappé's goal and had a very solid game. He has to get used to getting into the box more like he did last year, but it's a lot more difficult against a low block like Alavés. I ask Bellingham to do this kind of work, not to score goals."
