Ancelotti’s job on the line after another heavy defeat to Barcelona

Real Madrid’s struggles reached a boiling point after a humiliating loss to FC Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final.

The 5-2 defeat not only dealt a massive blow to the team’s pride but also triggered serious concerns within the upper echelons of the club.

Club president Florentino Pérez, renowned for his high expectations, may now be losing faith in Carlo Ancelotti, whose position as head coach is now under intense scrutiny.

Despite managing a squad widely regarded as one of the strongest in Europe, Ancelotti has failed to deliver consistent performances or establish a cohesive tactical approach this season, following the addition of Kylian Mbappe to the squad.

The early months of the season have been plagued by setbacks, with Real Madrid falling short at times. The most alarming aspect for the board has been the stark contrast in performance compared to Hansi Flick’s FC Barcelona, a team with arguably less individual quality but far superior organisation and efficiency.

Florentino Pérez’s patience is wearing thin, as the club’s inability to compete at the highest level poses a significant concern. For a club that prides itself on its winning DNA, the current state of affairs is unacceptable. While Ancelotti still has a window of opportunity to turn the tide, the pressure is mounting. Not only must the team secure victories, but it also needs to develop a clear identity on the pitch that resonates with the fans and reassures the club hierarchy.

Time is running out for the Italian coach. Real Madrid must show marked improvement in the coming weeks or risk a managerial change. Under Pérez’s leadership, the club has rarely offered second chances, and he has shown a willingness to make bold decisions to protect Madrid’s reputation as one of the world’s most dominant footballing institutions. If results and performances don’t improve swiftly, Ancelotti’s tenure may soon come to an abrupt end.

For Pérez and Real Madrid, losing to Barcelona woefully consecutively, is unacceptable.
