If there is a man who lost more than the others following this defeat of Real Madrid against Arsenal (3-0), it is Carlo Ancelotti. Already challenged by part of Madrid public opinion, the Italian coach has failed to make the team of his counterpart Mikel Arteta thwart.

It remains to be seen whether the idea of taking orders from Real Madrid will seduce German, which seems rather happy in its new role in the offices and clearly in a hurry to take over a club. The fact remains that the one who made Liverpool happy for so many years remains far behind Xabi Alonso in the Real Madrid wishes list, and that the final decision of Bayer Leverkusen is eagerly awaited in Madrid…
