“Let's be honest: on both matches, Arsenal deserved its place in the semi-finals. »» It was a disappointed but lucid Carlo Ancelotti who appeared in front of the press after the elimination of Real Madrid against the Gunners on Wednesday evening in the quarterfinals of the Champions League. A premature road trip to the White House, which was holding the title but did not honor its status by bowing to the first leg (0-3) as back (1-2).
“Football has two facets: the happy side, which has often happened to us, and the sad side, which we must manage in the same waysaid coach Merengue. It happened to us less often than other teams, but we must manage it, because it will allow us to be better in the next matches. »» With La Liga, the King Cup and the Club World Cup, Madrid can still save the furniture this season.
“We are now in the race for La Liga. We are disadvantaged (because Barça has four points ahead, note), but we have the match against Barcelona (May 11), the King Cup final, the Club World Cup, and we have to manage this part of football, which is another aspect to which we are not used to. But it exists. It's time to keep your head high and learn from our mistakes ”he added.
Carlo Ancelotti already his head elsewhere?
If nothing is therefore yet catastrophic for Real Madrid, the supporters no longer hide their dissatisfaction. On X (formerly Twitter), many demand the head of the Italian technician who, according to Sky Sports, should not even end the season on the bench of Casa Blanca! The British media actually reveals that Carlo Ancelotti will leave his post after the King Cup final on April 26 against the Blaugranas.
A huge thunderclap that could precede another. Under contract until 2026, the Transalpine coach (65) has been courted for several months by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), looking for a new coach to succeed Dorival Junior. This precipitated departure could allow him to quickly join the Seleçao, which must face the Ecuador and Paraguay in early June, in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
