Fikayo Tomori and Luka Romero both found the net in the first half to hand the Serie A side a comfortable lead at the break, however Real Madrid came out a totally different side for the second 45.
A quickfire double from Federico Valverde levelled the scoring 15 minutes into the second period, before Vinicius Junior found the winner late on.
Ancelotti was full of praise for Bellingham following his cameo, dubbing the England international a ‘complete midfielder’ and a ‘fantastic player’.
“I was really impressed with Bellingham.” Ancelotti told Real Madrid’s website after the full-time whistle.
“Bellingham played very well and the team has to get used to his quality, which is unbelievable. His arrival into the box is hugely important for the team.
“He’s a fantastic player, very important for us because he’s a complete midfielder and he brings real pace and intensity to the game.
“He moves extremely well without the ball and he’s different to the other midfielders we have. He makes the most of the free space and adds another dimension to this squad, which is fantastic.”
