Real Madrid suffered another devastating blow to their pride after a resounding loss to FC Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final. The defeat not only marked a setback in the sporting realm but also raised alarms within the leadership of the white club. Florentino Pérez, known for his relentless demands, seems to be losing patience with Carlo Ancelotti, who is facing serious doubts about his continuity as the team's manager.
The Italian coach, who has a squad considered by many as the best in Europe, has failed to translate that potential into positive results or a convincing style of play. In the early months of the season, Real Madrid has lost all key matches, displaying an image far from expectations. Most concerning for the board is that the team appears light-years behind in performance compared to Hansi Flick's FC Barcelona, a rival with an inferior squad but a much more defined and effective tactical scheme.
Florentino Pérez cannot bear this situation any longer.
The situation has become untenable for Pérez, who cannot accept a Madrid unable to compete for major titles. Although Ancelotti still has time to turn things around, the pressure is immense. The team is expected not only to regain positive outcomes but also to establish an identity on the field that restores confidence to the president and the fans.
If Real Madrid does not show significant improvement in the coming weeks, Ancelotti's tenure could come to an end. At the White House, second chances are not common, and Florentino has proven he does not hesitate to make drastic decisions when the club's greatness is at stake.
