Ancelotti's Shocking Confession After the Elimination: I Can Leave Tomorrow, but

The Italian tried to avoid talking about his departure, but he couldn't confirm his continuity with the white team after summer

Carlo Ancelotti has left one of the most shocking phrases of his time at Real Madrid. After the elimination against Arsenal, the Italian coach surprised everyone with a confession that sounds like a farewell.

"The day I leave this club, I'll only be grateful. It could be tomorrow or in a year. The only thing I'll do is thank them," he declared to the media in a press conference.

These words have left a huge echo in the Madridist environment.

Uncertain Future

When asked if he fears for his future, Ancelotti was clear. "I can't talk about that now. It could happen, I don't know," he said.

"The club may want to change. It could be this year, it could be next. There's no problem." The coach's sincerity has caused a wave of uncertainty. Many already see it as the beginning of the end.

Ancelotti didn't want to dodge the issue. But he also didn't seem very worried: "The day I finish here, I can only do one thing: give thanks."

The Hardest Blow of the Season

The elimination against Arsenal was tough. Madrid was inferior in the tie. The coach acknowledged it: "It's a disappointment to exit the Champions. But it's the other side of soccer."

"Arsenal was better than us. We tried. But we didn't find spaces," he explained.

Regarding what went wrong, he made another striking statement: "Making an analysis today isn't correct. We have to accept this tie and the blows that come."

Message to the Locker Room

Ancelotti also wanted to protect his players: "In terms of attitude, the team gave everything they could give."

He made it clear that now it's time to look forward: "They have to hold their heads high. They must keep fighting."

He also sent a warning about the need to maintain focus. "If you lower your arms, you haven't handled this sad moment well," he pointed out.

Madrid still has La Liga, Copa, and Club World Cup. But the European failure has been a very serious blow.

Ancelotti, for the first time, has left the door open for departure. His confession hasn't gone unnoticed. At the club, they're already taking note.
