Fans convinced Carlo Ancelotti has had lip fillers after Madrid press conference

LALIGA fans were transfixed by a lip-smacking thriller – then wondered if Carlo Ancelotti had lip-swelling filler.

Viewers were open-mouthed in astonishment at the Real Madrid boss’s buxom lips in a press conference following a 3-3 draw at Rayo Vallecano.

And many fans reckoned the legendary ex-Chelsea chief, 65, must have had lip fillers or an operation

One posted: “What’s wrong with your lip? Have you had surgery?”

Another claimed: “I’ve been giggling about Ancelotti’s lip filler since I woke up”  

A third wrote: “Can someone explain to me what Ancelotti has done to his lips?”

The unexpected debate about Ancelotti’s facial features came after Jude Bellingham netted for a sixth LaLiga match in a row.

The last player to do that was Real icon Karim Benzema eight years ago.

But the draw means Ancelotti’s men remain a point behind neighbours Atletico Madrid and leaders Barcelona.

So one frustrated fan asked: “Why did Ancelotti get lip filler. This is not a serious club.”

Another said: “Ancelotti has been more concerned about his lips than about today’s game.”

However, it turns out there is a much more rational explanation for Ancelotti’s facial appearance.

Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo say his large lips were in fact due to an allergy.

And that was part of a rollercoaster evening for Ancelotti, who saw his side recover from trailing 2-0 to lead 3-2 through Federico Valverde, Bellingham and Rodrygo.

But Isi Palazon rescued a valuable point for second-bottom Vallecano.

So for Ancelotti it wasn’t a case of all’s swell that ends swell.
