Carlo Ancelotti has spoken after Real Madrid’s disappointing Champions League exit. He recognizes the disappointment but asks everyone at the club to stay together and focus on the remaining competitions this season.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Real Madrid were knocked out of the Champions League this week, leaving both players and fans upset. Ancelotti spoke to the media, saying, “We talked to the club and the players. We’re all hurt after what happened. Champions League is the most important competition, but it’s not the only one. But this is football, you can’t always win.”
Ancelotti stressed the team’s shared pain but also the need to regroup for the upcoming challenges. He stated that he has the full support of the management, noting that the team and leadership are “all in the same boat” as they aim to respond positively in the final weeks of the campaign.
LA LIGA TITLE RACE AND SEASON PERFORMANCE
Even though they are out of the Champions League, Real Madrid’s season is still far from over. The team is currently second in La Liga, four points behind leaders Barcelona. Real Madrid is preparing to host Athletic Club, who are currently fourth in the table. The result of Barcelona’s match against Celta Vigo, which is a day earlier, will determine what’s at stake in Madrid’s next game.
The squad must remain focused, since any slip could extend the gap at the top or threaten their position from teams below. Real Madrid players, including important figures like Vinícius Júnior and Thibaut Courtois, are vital as Los Blancos also look forward to the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona on April 26.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR ANCELOTTI AND REAL MADRID?
The immediate goal for Ancelotti and his team is to recover and compete for silverware in both La Liga and the Copa del Rey. Though rumors are circulating about Ancelotti’s future—including reports hinting he might quit after the Copa del Rey final—the coach has said he will only talk about his plans at the end of the season and remains under contract until June 2026. Real Madrid’s next match against Athletic Club is very important; a win would keep them close to Barcelona and maintain pressure at the top of the table. With the season nearing its decisive phase, everyone is watching to see how the Spanish giants react to this recent setback and chase additional trophies.
