Carvajal will now miss Madrid's clash against Sevilla along with Eduardo Camavinga who has also been suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

After the game, Ancelotti claimed that his team got "nervous" after conceding the penalty in the first half.

He said: "We’re not happy after this draw. We were good until the penalty, our game changed after it and we got nervous.

"Playing here is always difficult. There were a lot of duels and fights. Rayo were good.

"We got a point, we’re not satisfied. But maybe in the future this could be a good point."
