With the season nearing its end, Real Madrid will now regroup and assess their performance in order to bounce back stronger in the upcoming campaign. Ancelotti’s presence and continuity will provide stability and familiarity for the players, ensuring a smooth transition into the next season as they aim to regain their dominance in domestic and European competitions.

While the Champions League defeat to Manchester City may have left a bitter taste for the Real Madrid faithful, the backing of influential players like Modrić reaffirms the unity within the team and the belief in Ancelotti’s ability to lead them to future success.

As the club looks ahead, the focus will be on consolidating their strengths, reinforcing the squad, and embarking on another promising journey under Ancelotti’s guidance.
