Real Madrid’s 2-1 home defeat to Valencia has triggered growing unrest within the club, prompting president Florentino Perez to issue a clear warning to head coach Carlo Ancelotti.
Trophy Hunt Overshadowed by La Liga Concerns
Despite the club still competing in the Champions League and securing a spot in the Copa del Rey final, their inconsistent form in La Liga has become a major concern at the top level.
The latest loss not only disappointed the fans but also exposed deeper tactical and structural flaws within the squad. Meanwhile, Barcelona continues to widen the gap at the top of the league table, adding more pressure on the coaching staff.
Frustration Over Style and Lack of Identity
According to reports, Perez is increasingly frustrated by the team’s performances in domestic competition. While results in Europe provide some hope, the lack of a clear playing identity and weak in-game reactions have raised internal alarm.
Criticism has also been aimed at Ancelotti’s conservative approach, especially his reluctance to make impactful changes during matches.
Make-or-Break Weeks Ahead
The coming weeks will be crucial for Ancelotti. With several key fixtures ahead, Perez has reportedly demanded an immediate turnaround—not just in terms of results, but also in the team’s playing style and dominance.
Ancelotti now faces a defining stretch in his career at the Bernabéu. While trophies are still on the table, any further slip-ups in La Liga could cost him his position.
