Global media reports have suggested that the match between Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao in La Liga could be a turning point in Carlo Ancelotti's future with the team. Spanish newspaper "Relivo" indicated that Real Madrid's early exit from the UEFA Champions League, coupled with the team's weak performance in terms of play and tactics, could increase the pressure on Ancelotti. If the team suffers a loss to Athletic Bilbao, the club's management might be forced to make a decisive decision, possibly involving the sacking of the Italian coach.

The reports also reveal that Real Madrid is already considering plans for next season, with the La Liga competition and the Copa del Rey final on the horizon, along with new challenges like the FIFA Club World Cup. Ancelotti is reportedly aware that he might be on his way out of the club, even though there are uncertainties about his future until the Club World Cup in the United States between June and July.

One of the most significant negative points this season for Ancelotti has been his loss of confidence in the dressing room, which became evident after the match against Arsenal. This lack of confidence has been one of the main factors affecting the team's overall performance this season, potentially putting Ancelotti in a very difficult position if the poor results continue.

This comes at a sensitive time for Real Madrid, who are seeking to regain their usual form and return to competing for major titles. If these negative results persist, Ancelotti's future could be in jeopardy, and the pressure on the club's management to make decisive decisions about the coaching staff will intensify. If performance does not improve in upcoming matches, the club might look to appoint a new coach for the next season, possibly accelerating the end of Ancelotti's era at the Spanish club.

The situation appears more complicated as reports suggest that the players are also starting to feel the pressure due to the decline in performance, further complicating the situation for the Italian manager.
