Carlo Ancelotti Never Loses Patience Because Real Madrid Is Full Of Turmoil

Carlo Ancelotti was furious because Real Madrid are inconsistent this season (Instagram/@realmadrid).

Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois said coach Carlo Ancelotti had lost his patience because the team was full of turmoil several times this season.

Los Blancos were evicted by Barcelona to second place in the La Liga standings with the same points (51), only losing in goal difference.

Real Madrid failed to widen their distance while leading the standings for winning two draws in the last two league games.

Barcelona could take advantage of Los Blancos' slip by winning in the latest week to take over the top of the standings.

This condition further shows the difficulty of Real Madrid competing with Barcelona. Earlier this season, they had lost 0-4 in La Liga and 2-5 in the Spanish Super Cup (Supercopa de Espana) from the Blaugrana.

"I have (coaches) like (Antonio) Conte who will scream like crazy. It's about personality, you know."

"I think (Zinedine) Zidane is calmer. Carlo is also calmer, unless something really happens, like a few times this year."

"However, I like that because I like the balance between being calm and at the right time you are angry. Your words will have an impact," Courtois told the Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast.

The journey in the Champions League is also not smooth. Real Madrid lost three times when they met Lille, AC Milan, and Liverpool.

As a result, they only finished in 11th place in the group phase so they had to compete in the playoffs to fight for the last 16 tickets.

The problem is, the playoffs must be played against the strong team from England, Manchester City.

Fortunately, Los Blancos have taken one step in the last 16 after they beat The Citizens in the first leg 3-2.

Next, Ancelotti's troops will try to maintain that advantage in the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu on Thursday, February 20, 2025, early morning WIB.
