Real Madrid’s loss to Lille has sparked widespread discussion, with Carlo Ancelotti returning from France facing disappointment. This defeat ended a 36-match unbeaten streak and highlighted one of the team’s weakest performances in recent memory. Lille’s energy and determination overshadowed Real Madrid, putting Ancelotti under increased scrutiny.
Following the loss, rumors about Ancelotti's future began to circulate, especially after a less-than-ideal start to the season, according to Spanish newspaper Marca. Despite this, Florentino Perez remains firmly behind Ancelotti, reaffirming his confidence in the coach amid the speculation.
The sentiment at the Santiago Bernabéu remains clear: “Ancelotti is our coach, and we’ll win many titles with him this season.” Despite whispers of potential replacements like Zidane and Xabi Alonso, Perez is standing by his decision. With the season still in its early phases, there’s plenty of time to turn things around.
Perez has no intention of replacing Ancelotti, recognizing his past successes with the club. While the beginning of the season has been bumpy, Real Madrid remains composed. Still, improvements in performance and results are crucial, and with Perez’s support, Ancelotti is tasked with finding the solutions necessary to guide the team back to form.
