Real Madrid is going through complicated times after being decisively defeated by Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final. The final score of 5-2 in favor of Barcelona not only left Real Madrid without the trophy but also had an impact on the morale of the Madrid fans, who did not expect such a large result in a classic match.

The performance of the white team was criticized for their lack of intensity and defensive errors that Barcelona took advantage of effectively. In this context, Florentino Pérez, President of Real Madrid, has already started taking measures and seems to be evaluating drastic changes to turn the situation around. One of the main areas of focus is the bench, where Carlo Ancelotti's hours could be numbered if he fails to correct the team's course.

Xabi Alonso:

Among the options the board is considering to replace the Italian coach, three names stand out. The first is Xabi Alonso, current coach of Bayer Leverkusen, whose success in Germany and past as a Madrid player make him the top candidate. However, the possibility of his arrival is complicated as the German club may not be willing to let him go in the middle of the season.

Raúl González Blanco:

The second alternative would be to promote Raúl González Blanco, who leads Castilla and is familiar with the club's philosophy. If not promoted to the first team and given an opportunity, Raúl may decide to part ways with Real Madrid and pursue his future as a coach, considering he has several offers on the table.

Zinedine Zidane:

Finally, Florentino Pérez could turn to Zinedine Zidane as a temporary solution until the end of the season, considering that the French coach dreams of managing his country's national team after Didier Deschamps' departure in 2026 and would not be willing to jeopardize this opportunity for a long-term project.
