During the game, Ancelotti substituted Rodrygo in the second half, which has caused tension between the two. Rodrygo's representatives are reportedly upset about the decision and are exploring other options.

Rodrygo has been linked to Manchester City and their coach Pep Guardiola. He has also been unhappy with the way he was singled out by Ancelotti, feeling that he played poorly in the first half, just like his teammates.

Rodrygo has scored 13 goals for Real Madrid, but his teammates Vinicius and Mbappé have scored more. His contract with the team runs until 2028.
