Real Madrid has made next Wednesday's match against Arsenal the main objective. Despite the 3-0 from the first leg being a very difficult deficit to overcome, they haven't lost hope. They keep talking about the comeback and how they are going to rethink a day that could be historic.

We're not just talking about the players or the coaching staff; even Florentino has wanted to get involved. According to the information reported by Marca, he would have made a promise to Ancelotti.If they manage to come back against Arsenal, he will remain at the helm of Real Madrid.

A surprising decision since until now it seemed that his continuity depended on winning the Champions League or La Liga. But this would change everything and they will leave the pass to the semifinals as the key to everything. Undoubtedly, it can be an additional motivation to turn the result around.

It is true that it is complicated since the 3-0 from the first leg is a very large score. But at Real Madrid, they are aware that they have done it before and that they can do it again. Especially if they manage to score in the first 15 minutes.

Ancelotti's Continuity Would Take an Unexpected Turn

The truth is that Ancelotti's continuity is on the line after the latest results. The defeat at Bernabéu against Valencia and against Arsenal at Emirates Stadium has left him shaken. It seemed that his departure was near, and only winning the Champions League could stop it.

But these developments can change everything since they would leave his continuity at stake in the quarterfinals. If he achieves another heroic comeback, Ancelotti would finish the remaining year of his contract. If they ultimately end up falling, it would certify Carletto's departure from Real Madrid.

Florentino's promise to Ancelotti is on the table, although right now it's the least of their concerns. What they want is to make another historic feat by coming back at Bernabéu. This would mean they continue to have a chance to retain the Champions League.
