When it did not help much that Real Madrid won 4-1 against Espanyol.

coach Carlo Ancelotti had two match ban after he clapped mockingly with the referee during the Valencia game. So we had the Italian watch yesterday’s match.

Whether it was nerves had calmed a bit, since neither Real Madrid or Barcelona had scored, is not known. But TV cameras caught that 55-year-old took a cigarette in between, before some of the teams had scored.

Hidden smoke

First televised Ancelotti as he lit the smoke, right after Ronaldo strikes a chance – before he was shot again several minutes later. Then the coach clearly embarrassed when he discovered that he was filmed with smoke between your fingers, and then tries to hide the cigarette.

It’s not the first time Ancelotti is seen while he takes a cigarette inside the stadium. According to British Independent is a habit the Italian started while he was active player.

While Ancelotti was coach in Italy, he received a shock while he smoked.

– For up to three years ago, one could smoke on the bench in Italy, and it was something I liked. I remember when we played against Ajax in the quarter-finals in 2003, so they scored we last minute and Gennaro Gattuso jumped up from the bench and grabbed me from behind – when I almost swallow the whole thing, told Ancelotti in 2010.

Probably finished in the team

The season has not been as hoped for 55-year-old. After the final ticket in the Champions League broke last week, and the league title this weekend, so predicting the Spanish media that the Italian finished in the team.

Chairman Emilio Butragueño refuses to frede Diamanti.

– This I will not say anything about now. There is still one game, then we’ll see after that, he told Spanish television after Sunday’s victory.

Before the weekend Hispanic Marca that it has been the plan that Castilla coach Zinedine Zidane would take over as coach of the A team. The plans will now be put on ice, because the lead in the team does not like the way the Frenchman has processed Martin Ødegaard on.

Carlo Ancelotti took out Ødegaard to fight against Almeria in late April, but never left the 16 year old to the pitch.

Since Barcelona secured the gold yesterday, says Spanish journalists that it now opens up a chance that Martin Ødegaard can debut in the remaining series match against Getafe – since Real Madrid have nothing to play for.

Marca journalist Ruben Jimenez told Dagbladet yesterday that “we all believe that Ødegaard can get the chance.”

– But it’s Carlo Ancelotti who decides this, and he has the their own thoughts about things, emphasizes Jimenez.
