Many supporters believe Ancelotti’s tactical setup was flawed from the outset, with key substitutions and game management further compounding the team’s woes.
As a result, Real Madrid now face an uphill battle in the second leg if they hope to overturn the deficit and reach the semi-finals.
Calls for Ancelotti’s sacking intensify
Frustrated fans have flooded social media with calls for Florentino Pérez to act swiftly and relieve Ancelotti of his duties, accusing the veteran coach of failing to adapt and making repeated errors throughout the season.
@WolfRMFC commented:
"I have never seen Real Madrid fans being actually this happy about a defeat because they know that this means it could potentially be the end of the manager. This is what Carlo Ancelotti has done to the fans."
@MHassanFootball said:·
"Ancelotti should have been sacked after the Milan game. Real Madrid deserve this humiliation for their complacency."
@GreatWhiteNueve posted:·
"One of the worst approaches tactically from the beginning. With the amount of individual quality available in the team, this is unacceptable. Carlo Ancelotti has to take responsibility."
@YashRMFC commented:·
"We deserved to be knocked out, tbh. No complaints at all, just another step closer to Ancelotti leaving this club once and for all."
@EleModric posted:
·"I really wonder what Ancelotti does at Valdebebas every day because it seems like this is the first time these players are playing together."
With Real Madrid’s European campaign now hanging by a thread, all eyes are on the club’s leadership to see whether change is on the horizon.
