La Liga
The elimination of Real Madrid by Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-finals has opened a deep wound within the white club. And at the center of the storm is Carlo Ancelotti, pointed out by a large part of Madridismo as the main responsible for the European failure. The general feeling is that the cycle of the Italian coach is coming to an end, and although there are still titles at stake (La Liga, Copa del Rey, and Club World Cup), his continuity seems more questioned than ever.
The fans have lost patience with certain decisions that are repeated week after week. His management of the squad has generated controversy, especially regarding the prominence of certain players. Lucas Vázquez, despite his inconsistent performance, continues to accumulate minutes, while promises like Endrick or Arda Güler have barely had real opportunities to show their talent. This lack of courage to bet on the future has finally caught up with him.
Shallow and Predictable Game
Tactically, the team has been navigating aimlessly for months. Since the absence of Dani Ceballos, who was the only one bringing some clarity in the midfield, the team has shown a flat, predictable, and lacking depth game. In the tie against Arsenal, Real Madrid resorted to just crossing balls into the box with no alternative plan, demonstrating a worrying lack of resources.
All of this has worn down Ancelotti's figure, who despite his experience and track record of success, seems to have lost control of the helm. His contract ends in 2026, but if nothing changes in the coming weeks, it seems likely he won't see it through. At the Bernabéu, the change is already perceived as a necessity.
