Carlo Ancelotti is under more pressure than ever before following Real Madrid's 3–2 defeat to Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final.
The noise surrounding Ancelotti's future at Real Madrid is reaching a fever pitch. Despite having one year left on his contract with the club, the Italian manager is on the hot seat as Los Blancos' disappointing season comes to a close.
Real Madrid had their sights set on potentially winning seven trophies this season. They started the year off by winning the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup, but 2025 has not been kind to the defending Spanish and European champions.
Ancelotti's squad lost to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final, was eliminated by Arsenal in the Champions League quarterfinals and is now coming off another defeat to Barcelona, this time in the Copa del Rey final. Real Madrid are also four points behind the Catalans in the La Liga title race with just five matches remaining.
The season is nothing short of a failure for the biggest club in the world, and new reports suggest Ancelotti just might have to answer for the team's poor performances with his job.
