There is no doubt that Carlo Ancelotti sees Real Madrid once again competing in the Champions League final. He is experiencing one of the most difficult times in office in recent years but the coach remains confident. The recent defeat against Liverpool has caused debate and much criticism. Still, he has blind faith in his team, as can be seen from a conversation he had in private.
Alberto Cerruti, a journalist from La Gazzetta and a personal friend of Carlo Ancelotti, has talked about it. Speaking on the latest program of El Larguero, he released a message on behalf of the Real Madrid coach. This was quite straight and leaves no room for doubt: They will be in the next Champions League final.
"Tell them anything, but the most important thing is that Madrid will be in the Champions League final in Munich," said Carlo Ancelotti. Everything seems to indicate that they'll have to play a preliminary round before the last 16. Despite that, he is positive that Real Madrid will be present in Munich. The outlook can be improved, but this message has penetrated the locker room. Everyone is working together to achieve the great objective of each year.
Carlo Ancelotti is in Danger: Florentino Has His Replacement Ready
Although Carlo Ancelotti is fully confident of reaching another Champions League final. Florentino, meanwhile, is prepared for anything.
This has been confirmed by journalist Roberto Morales on COPE. He pointed out that, for a few weeks, Santiago Solari has already been warned that he could take over from the Italian coach. "I am told from within Real Madrid that, for a couple of weeks, they've been telling Solari to be ready. It's a message that affects Ancelotti the same way as us. It gets on his nerves. They tell me that Solari has been warned, he is the option," Morales pointed out on COPE.
In this sense, he's closed his information about Santiago Solari by pointing out that "This is moving from the inside. Suddenly we are seeing a lot of Solari, today[against Liverpool]he was in the box."
It wouldn't be the first time that Santiago Solari took charge of the Real Madrid dugout in this way. In 2018, he was promoted to the first team after Lopetegui was sacked, but things didn't go too well for him. In any case, what Florentino is clear about is that he would be the emergency solution to be able to find Ancelotti's replacement with more time.
