While Real almost drew a line on the title of Spanish champion after the Clasico lost in Barcelona on Sunday (3-4), all eyes were on Carlo Ancelotti, on the eve of the match against Mallorca. Because the Italian made a strong announcement.
“” From May 26, I will be the coach of Brazil, which is a very important challenge, but until 26, as well as today, I am the coach of Real Madrid, explained the technician. I want to finish the last step in this fantastic adventure. I want to finish on the best possible note. I know that you are very interested in what I think and what I am going to do, but for me, I must think at the time that I leave behind and these are the days I lived here in Real Madrid. Due to the great respect I have for this club, these fans and these players, I fully focus on what I have to do in the last stage of this spectacular adventure. »»
Carlo Ancelotti and Real Madrid, it's over.
“Football, like life, is an adventure that begins and that ends. The day I got here, I always had in mind that there was a start and an end. This day will be May 25. A wonderful period ends. I had a great time and I thank everyone. But like all things in life, there is a moment … Life itself has an end, so imagine if a period cannot end, for a moment in a football team. Football is like life. Something starts, something ends. »» A very elegant speech, like the guy, who therefore gives way to a few final outings, starting with this major match.
An infirmary still full in Real Madrid
If Ancelotti has long been weighed down by the imbalance generated by its “fantastic 4”, 4-2-4 has not been topical for Real Madrid for a long time. And a star pays the costs: Rodrygo. While he is already injured, the Brazilian striker would be very unhappy with his situation and would no longer wish to wear the Real jersey.
While Vinicius also joined an already full infirmary, it is Endrick who should accompany a Kylian Mbappé in great shape in attack. Jude Bellingham is expected at the highlight of the diamond in the middle. In defense, Ancelotti will still have to tinker since Tchouaméni, who has become used to backing up, is suspended.
The expected composition for Real Madrid : Courtois, Valverde, Asencio, Jacobo, Fran Garcia, Ceballos, Modric, Güler, Bellingham, Brahim Diaz, Mbappé.
