Ancelotti Shows Love for Real Madrid as Departure Rumors Grow

Carlo Ancelotti has shown his deep affection for Real Madrid. This comes before an important El Clasico match against Barcelona, with many reports suggesting he may soon leave the club.

WHAT HAPPENED?

At a press conference before Sunday’s game against Barcelona, Ancelotti spoke about his bond with the club. He said, “I will always love Real Madrid.” He also noted that “Real Madrid is a special club and deserves a special attitude every day.” These words are important as Real Madrid need to win at the Montjuic Olympic Stadium. They are currently four points behind Barcelona in La Liga, with only four games left in the season.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Ancelotti’s emotional statement comes as many believe he has agreed to leave Real Madrid. Sources say an exit deal is signed, possibly clearing the way for him to coach Brazil’s national team. He could announce his departure right after Sunday’s El Clasico. Despite his success as a coach, this year’s failures seem to have determined Ancelotti’s future. Former midfielder Xabi Alonso is rumored to replace him.

ANCELOTTI’S LEGACY

The Italian coach has achieved great success at Real Madrid. During the press conference, he compared his feelings for Real Madrid to AC Milan, stating, “The honeymoon never ends with this club. It will continue forever.” Ancelotti has a chance to leave on a high note by beating Barcelona, which would reduce the gap to just one point with three games left.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR REAL MADRID?

Real Madrid will play Barcelona on Sunday, May 11, in a game that could shape their season. If they win, their title hopes stay alive, as they’d be just one point behind Barcelona with three games remaining. For Ancelotti, a win would be special if he is indeed leaving. He is reportedly set to become Brazil’s national team coach in June. He would lead them in World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Paraguay, and possibly the 2026 World Cup in North America.
