27.Ne2!
Carlsen retreats the knight from its wonderful outpost. Sitting on d4 might feel great for the horse, but White needs to coordinate his pieces in a plan of action. The way to do this is to redeploy the knight to f4, where it not only attacks d5, but also clears the way for Rd1 and harasses the black rook that's defending the pawn.
27...Bc6 28.Nf4 Rg5 29.b5! Breaking the rhythm.
29...Bxb5 30.Nxd5+ Kf8 31.Nc7+/-.

The king goes to d7 so that ...Ne6, putting the knight on an excellent blockade square in the center, becomes possible without dropping the c6-pawn.
