"Kimmich Dived" - Ancelotti Hits Back at Bayern Complaints

Both De Ligt and his manager, Thomas Tuchel, expressed frustration after the match over the contentious refereeing decision. However, Ancelotti pointed out that Real Madrid had also faced a questionable call during the game. Following Davies' goal, Madrid believed they had equalized when Nacho redirected Federico Valverde's shot into the net.

The goal was disallowed after a VAR review, citing a push by Nacho on Kimmich. Ancelotti, however, believed that Kimmich had exaggerated the contact and went down too easily.

In his post-match comments, Ancelotti brushed off Bayern's complaints, saying, "Bayern complained about the offside? Well, then we'll complain about Nacho's disallowed goal... because Kimmich dived.”

With Real Madrid already securing the La Liga title, they have little at stake in their remaining four league fixtures. Therefore, Ancelotti may opt to rotate his squad heavily against Granada on Saturday. Nonetheless, he might field his strongest lineup in the subsequent games to maintain momentum heading into the final against Borussia Dortmund on June 1 at Wembley.
