He tried to recover to be available but this was not possible,” Ancelotti told a press conference.The 35-year-old current Ballon d’Or holder has been plagued by minor injuries this season but still enjoyed a stunning 2021-22 campaign that saw his outstanding goalscoring feats help guide Real Madrid to their 14th Champions League crown.
