Carlo Ancelotti said it was not the time to discuss his Real Madrid -Completion after their painful defeat against Clasico -rival Barcelona in the Copa del Rey Final.
Madrid fought his way back to Saturday's showpiece that had been 1-0 during the break, with a Kylian Mbappe-free kick and an Aurelian Tchouameni header that she placed 2-1 up.
But Ferran Torres locked the brilliant pass from Lamine Yamal to the level in the 84th minute, and after Barcelona had destroyed a penalty at death, the game went to extra time.
Jules Kounde turned out to be the hero with his 116th minute Drive that Barca's 32nd Copa Triumph conquered, and the last whistle signal saw Chaotic Scenes as Antonio Rudiger-Die was replaced by Ancelotti-Serd fired because he would throw an object at Ricardo de Burgo-Betengetxea.
Lucas Vasquez and Jude Bellingham also saw red cards after the full -time whistle, because Madrid's best chance to save silverware from a terrible season evaporate.
Now it is confronted with a tough task to defend their title in LaLiga, where they follow Barca with four points, it is generally expected that Madrid will separate part of the company of Ancelotti.
Asked for his future, said the Italian – who is again linked to the national team of Brazil -: “I can continue, I can stop, but it will be a problem for the coming weeks, not for today.”

Ancelotti added: “We participated and we will also compete in Barcelona in the upcoming league match [on May 11]. We will compete as we did tonight.
“We must continue to compete for the competition title. We played a level game and were very close to lifting the cup.
“I was injured because I can't lift the cup, but I have nothing to blame my players, because we played the game that we had to play.”
Madrid has lost three consecutive games against Barcelona this season and will also fall 4-0 in the Santiago Bernabeu in Laliga and 5-2 in the Supercopa de Espana.
That means that Hansi Flick is the first Blaugrana coach who wins his first three Clasicos since Pep Guardiola (first five).

“We were almost winning and we gave a strange goal of a ball over the back of the defense, but it can happen to Barca,” Ancelotti continued.
“We tried to the end, we came in the neighborhood. The second half was very good, but that is football. The game was evenly balanced. Barca was better in the first half, we were better in the second.
“There is nothing to say about the team, which fought very hard. We competed very well. If we had won, it would not have been a scandal. We did great until we were shocked late.”
