The 22-year-old did not look to pleased with the decision ta being withdrawn and did not shake Ancelotti's hand when coming.

The Madrid tactician has now revealed that the handshake snub was not a big deal.

"At half-time, we saw that Rodrygo had a muscle that was a little overloaded," Ancelotti said, as per Goal.

"So, we decided to make an early substitution. He didn't shake my hand as he came off, maybe because he forgot."
