The loss dashed Real Madrid’s hopes of extending their unbeaten league run to 43 games, a record set by Barcelona between April 2017 and May 2018.
The defeat also left Real Madrid six points behind their rivals in the standings.
“It’s a hard moment, a tough moment when you lose a game, especially after so many unbeaten,” said Ancelotti.
Kylian Mbappe had two goals disallowed for offside and missed several opportunities.
“We played with intensity in the first half and could have scored, but we lacked accuracy,” Ancelotti added.
“When they scored, their two quick goals drained our energy. We took more risks defensively, and they exploited more chances on the counter-attack.”
“For 60 minutes, we competed very well; we just have to forget the last 30,” he concluded.
