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 bottom lip in a press conference following a 3-3 draw at Rayo Vallecano.

Many fans reckon the legendary ex-Chelsea chief must have had botox treatment or an operation
One posted: “What’s wrong with your lip? Have you had surgery?”
Another said: “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.”

Spanish outlet mundodeportivo say his large lips were due to an allergy.
But it didn’t save the former Bayern Munich and Everton boss from less than generous jibes.
Plenty of fans on social media made up their own mind over the cause of the apparent swelling.
One wrote: “Ancelotti has punctured his lips or is it just me.”
Another said: “Ancelotti has been more concerned about his lips than about today’s game.”
That was particularly unkind as Real recovered 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.
