In the UEFA Champions League Group B match, the "royal" club defeated Turin's Juventus 2-1 at home, and the referee Manuel Grafes played a significant role in the success of the hosts by deciding to remove the visitors' defender Giorgio Chiellini from the field for a foul against Cristiano Ronaldo.
"Of course, the game changed. But there are five officials overseeing the match, they decided to punish Juventus and we have to accept it," said the Italian.
"We could have played better, but we achieved the much-needed victory. The team trusts in its abilities and is progressing. We played well for about an hour, then the pace slowed down. This was due to fatigue," Ancelotti said.
