Real Madrid Confidencial Announce Ancelotti's Possible Dismissal, Date of His Farewell: 'We'll See if It Comes...'
Carlo Ancelotti is being heavily criticized in recent hours following Real Madrid's defeat
Real Madrid suffered a home defeat against Valencia at the Santiago Bernabéu. The white team had the opportunity to take the lead in the 13th minute when Tárrega brought down Kylian Mbappé inside the box. Cuadra Fernández pointed to the penalty spot, but after a VAR review requested by Figueroa Vázquez, he maintained his decision.
Vinícius took the penalty to the left of Mamardashvili, but the Valencia goalkeeper managed to save it. From a possible 1-0, it quickly turned to 0-1 when a corner from Almeida was headed in by Diakhaby. Shortly after, in the 21st minute, Diakhaby himself was involved in an own goal, but the goal was disallowed for offside by Kylian Mbappé.
After the break, Real Madrid increased the intensity and quickly managed to equalize the score. Luka Modric took a corner to the near post, Jude Bellingham flicked it on with his head to the far post, and Vini Jr. got ahead of Jesús Vázquez to score the 1-1 with a right-footed shot.
Real Madrid Pressed, But...
In the 70th minute, Kylian Mbappé reached the byline and assisted Fede Valverde in the six-yard box. The Uruguayan's close-range shot was spectacularly saved by Giorgi Mamardashvili with a crucial intervention.
Real Madrid, determined to break the tie, pushed their lines forward in search of the goal, but Valencia took advantage of a lethal counterattack. In added time, Hugo Duro scored the 1-2, sealing the victory for the visitors.
What's Going On with Carlo Ancelotti?
Many Madridists are very dissatisfied with Carlo Ancelotti's strategies in recent matches. Additionally, Real Madrid's fans complain about the team's play and the defensive level shown.
Joaquín Maroto, a well-known journalist from the newspaper AS, spoke about the future of Carlo Ancelotti on his social media. "Ancelotti has thrown away the League and Mbappé's Pichichi today, the Champions League is coming on Tuesday, and we'll see if he reaches the Copa final on the 26th. Clearly, the team has slipped from his hands", he posted on 'X'.
Joaquín Maroto was very critical of Carlo Ancelotti's decisions and suggested that his future could depend on the results against Arsenal.
