Losing to Arsenal, Coach Carlo Ancelotti bitterly: 'I could leave Real Madrid tomorrow'

Real Madrid have been a complete contrast to the squad that has won two of the last three seasons. After a heavy 0-3 defeat in the first leg of the quarter-finals, Real Madrid returned to the Bernabeu hoping to recreate a miraculous comeback - something they have done many times in the Champions League.

But this time, the miracle did not come. Not only did Real not turn the game around, they also conceded two more goals after goals from Bukayo Saka (65th minute) and Gabriel Martinelli (90+3). Vinicius Junior's equalizer in the 67th minute was a rare bright spot in a forgettable night at the Bernabeu.

In La Liga, the Spanish Royal team is currently 4 points behind Barcelona, ​​while the season has only 7 rounds left. Coach Ancelotti's current contract with Real Madrid expires in June 2026.

When asked about his future at the Bernabeu, coach Ancelotti replied: "It could end this year, or next year when the contract expires... I have no problem with that. But when I leave here, I will always be grateful to this club. Maybe tomorrow, a year from now, or ten years from now, I will still be grateful. That's all."

Regarding the loss to Arsenal, coach Ancelotti shared: "We did very well in previous seasons, but this year we encountered many difficulties. Things did not go as expected, but we have to accept that no team is invincible."

“Arsenal played better than us. We tried our best. Maybe the penalty was the turning point, it could have changed the game," said coach Ancelotti. "Arsenal defended very solidly. We had difficulty finding space."

Previously, many sources said that Brazil was hoping to appoint Carlo Ancelotti as the head coach of the national team. A source from Sky Sports revealed that Mr. Diego Fernandes - an influential businessman in Brazil - was trying to act as an intermediary to promote this deal.

Fernandes is said to have links with both Ancelotti's team and the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). Although not an official member of the CBF, Fernandes is described as playing an important role in the plan to bring the Italian strategist to lead the Selecao.

Brazil have been without a head coach since sacking Dorival Junior after a 4-1 defeat to Argentina in March. The source said Brazil were concerned that time was running out and they could not afford to leave the head coach vacant for long, especially as they have two World Cup qualifiers in June, against Paraguay and Ecuador.

On Real Madrid's side, many sources said that the team is said to be considering bringing coach Xabi Alonso - who is having great success at Bayer Leverkusen and is also a former player of the club - to Bernabeu to replace coach Ancelotti.
