James returned in the best possible way after his long absence. He started and scored his team’s goal, with an extraordinary shot.
Therefore, Ancelotti had words of praise only for the steering wheel. “I think he made a fantastic effort. He didn’t play for a long time, he helped the team a lot, he scored a goal, he played a fantastic game,” Ancelotti said of the Colombian.

“We were better, of course, James put more quality in front of us. Our strikers are usually clinical in front of the goal, they were not and that is the reason for this point,” said Ancelotti.
James played 79 minutes when he was replaced. Faced with this, Ancelotti commented:
“In the end it didn’t have much energy, so to avoid a problem I took it out.”
James, who missed five games due to physical discomfort, wanted to recover well to return to his best level before the end of the season in England.
