The hard elimination of real Madrid In the quarterfinals of the Champions League at the hands of Arsenal He ignited all the alarms in the white club.
Although those of Carlo Ancelotti They still compete for the league and have a Copa del Rey final ahead, the general sensation is that this season was well below expectations. And that, in Real Madrid, never goes unnoticed.
Should Carlo Ancelotti continue on the Real Madrid bench?
Carlo Ancelotti has been one of the most successful technicians in the recent history of the club, but the question now is whether its cycle has come to an end.
Criticisms focus on the lack of a clear tactical plan in key matches, especially in duels against Arsenal, where the team seemed aimlessly. The lack of reaction and tactical passivity have generated doubts even among their most faithful defenders.
Although throwing Ancelotti may seem an impulsive reaction, if the club wants to renew its sports project, the Italian coach’s departure could be the first necessary step.
Some media indicate that Xabi Alonso is the one who will replace the Italian. However, the possibility of German Jurgen Klopp is the first on the list.
The Madrid debacle against Arsenal has left Carlo Ancelotti very touched and in the international press they already begin to emerge names for possible relay. The Brazilian medium UOL brings out the name of Jürgen Klopp, which would be “more and more worn in her role as Red Bull Soccer Director” and would be “open to negotiate with the Brazilian Federation or with Real Madrid.”
“People close to Klopp recently said that they would only accept to leave the Austrian team for two destinations: the Brazilian team and Real Madrid.” The German joins the list of candidates for possible Real Madrid coach next season, in which Xabi Alonso is also.
Reconstruction or small touch -ups?
More than simple adjustments, everything indicates that Real Madrid needs a reconstruction. Players like Modric or Tonni Kroos were legends and already one of them went to retirement in the last campaign. The midfield lacks control and freshness, and veteran dependence begins to take its toll. The lack of intensity and energy has been evident in several sections of the season.
With the possible arrival of Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool, the club seems to have started a new stage, but that will not be enough. More key signings are needed, especially in core and defense.
Key decisions on the horizon
The future of figures such as Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo is also on the table. Although both have quality, their coexistence in the attack with other stars has not worked as expected. The club must decide whether to bet on them or look for new offensive profiles that fit better.
In addition, players like David Alaba could leave if a good offer arrives, and the renovations of Modric and Lucas Vázquez are in doubt. The message is clear: Real Madrid must rejuvenate its template and find a new competitive nucleus that combines talent, physical and ambition.
To be competitive again in Europe, Real Madrid needs more than touch -ups: it must rethink its structure, bet on new blood and, perhaps, close a successful cycle with Ancelotti to start another. The decisions that are made this summer will mark the course of the club in the coming years. The prestige is not lost from one day to another, but in modern football, falling in the laurels is a luxury that even Madrid can afford.
