'I've taken it into account': Ancelotti reacts to Asensio fit of rage at not playing v Mallorca

Marco Asensio was visibly angry at Carlo Ancelotti after not being subbed on in the match against Mallorca.

"If we hadn't scored I would have put Mariano and Asensio but then Lucas Vazquez got injured," the Real Madrid coach said.

"I understand Asensio was angry. I agree with his anger and I've taken it into account. He's important to us."

Asensio was set to warm up in the second half against Mallorca, but then Ancelotti decided not to sub him on. Unable to manage his anger, the forward threw his bib and kicked a bottle right in front of the coach.

Marco has only played 17 minutes across two games this season. He's yet to get a start.
