The End of Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid

You have to respect your opponent—Remontadas don’t happen without the right attitude and effort from the very first leg. In this video, we break down Real Madrid’s performance against Arsenal, focusing on key issues like complacency, lack of pressing, and the ongoing struggle with injuries and suspensions.

⚔️ Aurélien Tchouaméni was spectacular today—just imagine if he had been available in the first leg. Arsenal forced Madrid to sit deep, exposing the lack of structure and balance in the squad.

📉 Poor squad construction, defensive issues, and questionable refereeing decisions (was that penalty fair?) all contributed to the first-leg collapse. But there were positives too—Vinícius Jr. was much improved, especially when pressing off the ball.

🔎 We also dive into how Arsenal defended in numbers and controlled the tempo. Can Real Madrid fix these structural problems in time?

Stop treating don Carlo like this this man is responsible for ending our UCL drought in 2014, since then we have won 6 of them three by Carlo and 3 by his assistanr, Zidane, I know it is time to move on but let say godbye in a legendary way to a club legend

[PrysterZ]

Anyone who believed in a Remontada should be ashamed of yourself, if you really thought that this team was gonna score 4 goals against that Arsenal defence, you’re on the same delusional level of Ancelotti.

As a Real Madrid fan it is sad today as I have been watching since 2014 when I was in 2nd grade and I’ve seen Real Madrid win the UCL (6 times) as many times as I’ve seen them get knocked out (6 times as of today). I am super grateful that I was born into the most dominant era in football history and got to witness this team I will never take it for granted and hope the changes can be made this summer to continue the story. But if Madrid see a UCL drought I got more memories to last a lifetime

[Neopremium]

The summer signings will be Militao who has had 2 acl injuries now and Carvajal who is returning from another acl injury, bravo Perez

[andreipopa]

only tiktok/instagram fans tought we could come back this tie, watching every game this season i knew we had no chance

[djonx]

You mean to tell me Carlo Ancelotti hasnt over achieved in the last 4 years?

We've had a make shift back 4, for almost the whole season. Lets not forget.

[dwaynecr]

Bellingham is our serious attacker but no one was in the box to help him out

[Florontino-Perez]

Crosses to 5-foot forwards 🤦‍♂️ that’s how clueless our manager is. We need a change this summer. Some of these players have to go and we need to bring in fresh faces

[Oceanrocks]

Mbappe’s signing completely ruined Madrid. Instead of investing in the defense, midfield and a real 9 Perez’s obsession with Mbappe destroyed the squad. Mbappe isn’t a 9, he doesn’t have the instinct to be in the box, he’s always at the edge of the box, he can’t press, can’t linkup, can’t score headers, misses 10, 000 chances, fumbles every 1v1, always offside, has a horrendous first touch, and is a serial UCL choker in big games (ghosted against Arsenal and Atletico, ghosted in multiple group stage games). When he was at PSG, he ghosted against Dortmund, ghosted against 11 men Barca, ghosted against Bayern, missed a sitter in PSG’s only final. He’s a literal UCL bottler and never shows up when his team needs him. Just watch PSG finally win the champions league this year without that UCL curse holding them back.

well said bro as a madrid fan to the core thank you for this 👍🏼 subscribed

Not hating on mbappé, he is World class, but bringing him in , net resulted in more disbalanced team, he can't head and have zero aerial ability, we need a cf for sure missing benzi so much . Need a playmaker in mid field, our midfield ia filled with labours no tactical ballers at all
And ofcourse defencive reinforcement is needed . But its highly unlikely the board will do any if this things

One thing has proven this season is the front 3 has failed miserably, one has to go .

Not going to blame carlo completely as i said my reasons, Perez is the culprit.but definately he failed to give us eye pleasing football this match was depressing as hell, surely his tactics has become obsolete at this very moment

[joelkwashie]

Really like your point in Klopp literally wanting nearly half of our players. Means he’s had an idea what to do with them for nearly two years.Guess what he’ll do when he lays his hands on them

[anthonydukamp]

From an Arsenal fan, think you were very harsh about Martinelli but ive enjoyed your coverage over this tie. You'll be back again very soon. Im sure you'll win #16 within a few years.

From my outside view I think you need to replace one of your forwards with a player that works harder for the team. Cant have 3 forwards that dont work hard, PSG shown you that. You need a new Benzema.

[wayneverhoff]

Jude was fighting but he didn’t do enough on ball. And I think he was too aggressive with his runs. He took himself out of the play way too much. He needs to have the most touches on the pitch imo. That should be his role.

[wayneverhoff]

I still give credit to Tchou who had a good game. And rudiger and Asencio and Courtois always fight.

It’s the front 3 and the FBs. Those are the issue. The FBs aren’t good enough and the front 3 the tactics are all wrong. Ironic cause Carlo doesn’t GIVE any tactics to the front 3. He’s openly said this for years

[JaySmurfz]

“Fans” blaming Carlo and not Perez is funny. Perez is obsessed with galacticos to the point that he’s willing to fuck up team chemistry for it. Vini doesn’t run to defend, Mbappe thinks he’s too much of a superstar to do any work, and Rodrygo throwing tantrums cause his name isn’t talked enough. To make room for mbappe we sacrificed vini, Bellingham, and rodrygo. That’s ABSURD. Mbappe ruined the team chemistry, dude was a cancer at PSG and now he’s a cancer at Madrid. Thank you Carlo for everything regardless of what these fraud fans think.

[call]

I hate to say it, but it's time for a change

[Yyxmki]

Thank you very much Carlo, but it's time to a change

[Sparta-pb]

Bro just 1 bad season and everyone blaming him😢 but I also agree with you a change is needed

[BaiSamuelkamara]

You said it all in your analysis. Since Toni Kross left, the middle doesn't have the control
