Ancelotti’s comments came as Real Madrid battle to maintain their La Liga lead while managing a demanding Champions League campaign and Brazil’s upcoming fixtures.
“We have a very good relationship with Vinicius. When something happens, we make sure to talk about it,” Ancelotti said.
“I spoke with Vinicius about the issue, about his reaction. I told him what I thought — that he made a mistake. He apologised, and it’s a resolved matter. He’s a very important player.
“He doesn’t have a problem here or in his club, or with his coach (Alonso). As for his personal life, it’s his — I’m not his father nor his brother, I’m just his coach.”
