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.

But there was a reason for Ancelotti’s fuller lips[/caption]

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.
