According to Western media donbalon, if the team is out of the Champions League quarter-finals, Real Madrid may replace Ancelotti, and the 41-year-old star Xavi Alonso is expected to enter the home. At the same time, the future of 5 Real Madrid stars such as Alaba and Carvajal at the Bernabeu is in doubt.
Real Madrid are currently nine points ahead of Sevilla and are hopeful of regaining the La Liga title after the Whites reversed the elimination of Paris in the Quarter-finals of the Champions League to advance to the final. The situation looks good, however, Real Madrid's 4-0 loss to Barca in the national derby has changed a lot of things.
Real Madrid's defeat came a bit abruptly, with many clashes with Barca in recent years and they have had some upper hand. Florentino was dissatisfied with this defeat, which made Ancelotti's position questionable.
According to reports, the Champions League results will have a decisive impact on Ancelotti's stay, and if he can't get past this level against Chelsea, even if An Shuai leads the team to la Liga, he may be fired. As for the replacement of An Shuai, Xavi Alonso is one of the favourites, and he is quite popular with Real Madrid fans.
Alonso is a 41-year-old Real Madrid star and currently has no first-team coaching experience. In the player era, Alonso was one of the representative stars who played football with his "brain", and all parties were optimistic that he could do something in the coaching world. Xavi also had no coaching experience in the Europa League when he took over barca, which gave Real Madrid some inspiration, believing that the young Alonso was the ideal candidate.
Real Madrid's current lineup, in fact, there are many problems, summer window, Real Madrid plans to adjust the lineup to a certain extent, it is expected that many players will leave the team. The 0-4 defeat to Barca has left some players who originally appeared to be in a stable position in question for the future of Real Madrid, including Alaba, Carvajal, Rodrigo, Asensio and Kroos.
The loss to Barca was Alaba's worst game since putting on the Real Madrid shirt, with 12 losses, a 33% one-on-one defensive success rate and only 43 passes. Of course, Alaba will not lose the main position, but his performance after arriving at Real Madrid is not very good, and there are places that need to be improved.
Carvajal remains the first choice for right-backs, his problem is that he has more injuries and misses many games. Against Barca, Carvajal was average, with just 22 passes in the entire game. Carvajal has already passed the 30-year-old mark and is planning ahead and Real Madrid have to bring in a right-back. Kroos' problems are mainly age, he has very little rest time this season, and his physical strength is about to be squeezed dry. Rodrigo and Asensio's roles are mainly rotated, with the former developing slowly, and the latter performing well and badly, and may be added to the clean-up list.
