Picking his top three, Ancelotti said, “Top 3 players in the world? Vinicius, Bellingham and Rodrygo. Then Kroos, Valverde, Camavinga.” Praising Dani Carvajal, he said, “Carvajal said it was the same, right or left, so I put him on the left because Tchouaméni preferred to play on the right. And it seemed that Carvajal had played 400 games in that position, unbelievable. You can’t say anything to Carvajal.”
