When asked about his 'floating brow', Ancelotti had an interesting response:

“I cannot control my eyebrow,” he said, via The Independent.
“Sometimes when I see an interview with me, I am really surprised about my eyebrow going up without control. But there is no reason for this, no accident behind it.”

His brows were put to good use when the Italian starred in a recent cameo role for the 2016 film, Star Trek Beyond.

Ancelotti worried about Madrid's firepower

Elsewhere, Ancelotti is worried about Real Madrid and a lack of edge in front of goal in their most recent games, after another lacklustre goal-less draw against Real Betis.

The veteran manager saw his team’s chances of retaining their La Liga crown take a huge blow as they fell to nine points adrift of Barcelona after the draw.

After netting five past Liverpool in the Champions League, Real Madrid has only scored once in their last three games after the remarkable comeback victory at Anfield.

The reigning La Liga champions scored one against Atletico Madrid but failed to hit the back of the net in subsequent games against Barcelona and Real Betis.

Ancelotti warns Barcelona

Ancelotti has warned Barcelona to expect a different game when the Catalans face off against Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey semi-final first leg, Sports Brief also reported.

Los Blancos were outplayed by their arch-rivals in the Spanish Super Cup final, running out 3-1 winners to lift their first trophy under manager, Xavi Hernandez.

According to Football Espana, Ancelotti has now vowed that the mistakes made in the Super Cup loss will not be repeated when both teams meet again on March 2.

Sports Brief also reported on Real Madrid not giving up the La Liga title without a fight.

The reigning champions trail Barcelona by seven but La Blaugrana have a game in hand.

Los Blancos dropped points once again as they drew with Atletici in a tense Madrid derby.
