This season, Real Madrid did not meet expectations in the Champions League. After an already complicated regular season course, the Merengues have completely passed through in the quarter -finals of the competition against Arsenal. Beaten on all aspects, Carlo Ancelotti's men came out by the small door and never seemed able to compete with much higher Gunners. A failure that has made the effect of an earthquake in Madrid where everyone was under the fire of criticism. On the razor's thread, Carlo Ancelotti was pointed out by part of the supporters who claimed his immediate departure despite his achievements in the Iberian capital. And even if his future at the Bernabeu is still as uncertain, “Carletto” was able to count on the support of another Italian legendary coach: Arrigo Sacchi. In the columns of MarcaAC Milan's legend has defended the former PSG coach and discussed Kylian Mbappé. Florentino Pérez has also taken it for its rank:
“What makes me sad, even if it is part of football is that everyone criticizes Carletto for his elimination of the Champions League and blame him for elimination. Do these people know who is ancelotti? Do they know what he won? I consider him a real football master, not only for his trophies, but also for his human qualities. Real Madrid should think about it two or three times before separating from someone like Carletto. (…) They signed an attacker (Mbappé) who was supposed to be a phenomenon, but he did not play as such. I know the world of Real Madrid well and I know Florentino Pérez because I was technical director of Real Madrid. He is an excellent president, but he focuses too much on attackers. Imagine that to convince him to recruit Sergio Ramos, I had to fight for three months, because he is not even interested in defenders. ” This is said.
