Real Madrid in anger

Real Madrid's defeat in the Champions League has fans furious.

The humiliating defeat to Arsenal not only ended the European dream but also sparked a deep crisis of confidence. Instead of empty words of consolation, the Santiago Bernabeu was now shaken by angry boos, aimed at both the upper echelons and captain Carlo Ancelotti, and echoed with calls for a radical personnel revolution.

The season started with bright rays of hope, painting a vision of a mighty Real Madrid, ready to conquer all heights. However, the harsh reality dealt a fatal blow, when the “Decimoquinta” dream was shattered by the guns of the “Gunners”.

A series of unstoppable declines (reaching a haunting 12 defeats) and a disjointed, lifeless style of play have put "Los Blancos" in a difficult position in the race for noble titles. Disappointment prevails, and the merciless criticism is directed at the superficial preparation of the leadership, at the inability to fill key gaps, especially after the departure of maestro Toni Kroos.

A survey by Marca, Real Madrid’s trusted newspaper, clearly revealed the anger of the fans. More than 40% of the participants believed that the root of the defeat lay in the lack of vision and strategic planning of the leadership. Another 20% criticized the weak performance of the warriors on the field.

However, the storm of anger still focuses on Carlo Ancelotti's hot seat. An overwhelming number, nearly 70% of Madridistas believe that it is time for the Italian strategist to step down, although his historical contributions are still appreciated. Many believe that letting Ancelotti lead the team to the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup would be a beautiful act of gratitude for his illustrious career.

Carlo Ancelotti is said to be on the verge of leaving the club.

Calls for a squad overhaul were also heard from the stands. Patience was running out, and fans were not shy about demanding drastic changes in the summer transfer window. According to the survey, Xabi Alonso, the chief architect of the rising Bayer Leverkusen, led the list of potential candidates with 48% of the vote, closely followed by Jurgen Klopp (28%), a strategist who has proven his class at Anfield, and legendary "number 7" Raúl González (10%).

At the same time, finding a new "conductor" who can fill the huge void left by Kroos has become a top priority. Real Sociedad's defensive midfielder Martin Zubimendi is the name that most Madridistas are "choosing to entrust their gold to".

Not only the board of directors and the coach, but also some of Real Madrid's current pillars are on the brink of uncertainty, facing a wave of fierce criticism from fans. Vinicius Junior, despite having some shining moments in the second leg against Arsenal, still could not escape strict scrutiny after the final defeat. Attractive offers from Saudi Arabia, inconsistent performance and off-field troubles have sown fatigue in the hearts of some fans. Even the prospect of the Brazilian star being liquidated in the upcoming transfer window is becoming a hot topic of discussion.

Although there are still battles ahead of the season, and Real Madrid still have a chance to retain the titles, the Champions League stigma has sparked a strong awakening. From the heart of the Madridista, a strong demand is heard: comprehensive change is the prerequisite for "Los Blancos" to be able to put this pain aside and move towards a brighter future at the top of European football.

The fire at the Bernabeu is burning, and Real Madrid's leadership will have to make landmark decisions to calm this fury, satisfying the legitimate desires of loyal fans who always long to see "Los Blancos" proudly soar in the skies of Europe.
