On May 12th Beijing time, according to TA's report, Real Madrid is expected to officially announce Ancelotti's departure this week. Earlier, Real Madrid fans gathered outside Valdebebas to protest and even demanded the resignation of president Florentino Perez.
Four games, four losses, 16 to 7. This is the harsh reality of the gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona this season.
Real Madrid will miss out on any of the traditional major titles such as the UEFA Champions League, La Liga or the Copa del Rey at the end of this season. What awaits them is a summer of major transformation.
It is expected that Real Madrid will officially announce this week that Ancelotti, the most successful head coach in the club's history, will end his second term and the Italian coach will join the Brazilian national team.
Xavi Alonso announced last week that he would leave Bayer Leverkusen, although his contract with the club expires in 2026.
This feeling permeated the fan base. When the players returned to Madrid from Barcelona, a group of fans gathered outside Real Madrid's Valdebebas training base, expressing their dissatisfaction.
Videos from Spanish media show that when the players left the training ground by car, fans chanted slogans against some of the players, and some even demanded the resignation of president Florentino Perez.
Real Madrid has just "bid farewell" to the La Liga champion of this season - Barcelona is currently seven points ahead of them. As long as Barcelona defeats Espanyol or Real Madrid loses to Mallorca, Barcelona will win the championship.
The only time Barcelona defeated Real Madrid four times in a single season was in the 1982-83 season, but there was also a draw at that time.
Barcelona has never scored 16 goals against Real Madrid in the same season either. This was another milestone reached by Hans-Flick's Barcelona yesterday. Ancelotti's team has conceded 37 goals in 35 La Liga matches this season, 11 more than in the 2023-24 season.
On the one hand, the Italian coach once pointed out that since last summer, his team has been constantly plagued by injuries, which has led to many management problems. He had conflicts with the team's physical trainer Antonio Pintus. Pintus is not expected to remain in the first team after the end of this season, but may hold positions in other departments of the club.
On the other hand, he is also conveying information to the board of directors. Although Ancelotti has always been on the side of the club's top management in public, within the club, he insists that at least one centre-back should be signed last summer and one centre-back or right-back should be signed in the January transfer window.
Last summer, Real Madrid missed out on Leni Joro. After he chose to transfer to Manchester United, the club made no specific moves in either of these positions.
A source representing a senior Real Madrid player also pointed the finger at this mistake made by the club: "Not signing (any player) is the club's fault."
Kylian Mbappe also seemed unable to believe that neither of the two goals he scored in the opening 14 minutes was enough to help Real Madrid win this El Clasico - he became the fourth player in Real Madrid's history to lose a La Liga game after scoring a hat-trick.
Mbappe is also the third Real Madrid player to score a hat-trick in an away game of El Clasico after Ferencz Puskas and Karim Benzema.
This reflects the current situation of Real Madrid - just like in the Copa del Rey final a few weeks ago, even if Mbappe scored a goal, it couldn't save the current situation of Real Madrid.
Real Madrid needs more than just a different head coach. In terms of defense, the club has not announced Trent Alexander-Arnold, who was signed from Liverpool as a free agent. They hope the right-back can represent the team in the Club World Cup. At present, Real Madrid is still striving to sign a center-back and is also looking for a left-back.
In addition, Real Madrid does not rule out strengthening or selling players in other positions. After a period of hardship, the situation at the Bernabeu is expected to undergo some significant changes in the coming months.
