Real Madrid’s season hangs in the balance—and so does the future of one of the most successful managers in Champions League history. If Los Blancos fail to overturn a 3-0 first-leg deficit against Arsenal this Wednesday, it may not just be the end of their European campaign, but also of Carlo Ancelotti’s second era at the Santiago Bernabéu.
CBF Ready to Strike
According to Eduardo Inda on El Chiringuito, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) is poised to launch an all-out pursuit of Ancelotti—immediately—if Real Madrid crash out of the Champions League.
“If Madrid doesn’t make a comeback, Brazil will go all out for Ancelotti,” Inda stated.
The CBF has made no secret of its admiration for the Italian maestro. They’ve long considered him the ideal candidate to replace Dorival Júnior. Initially willing to wait until the Champions League final, the tide has shifted. That crushing 3-0 defeat in London could now trigger an early move.
Tensions Mounting in Madrid
Despite recently signing a contract extension until 2026, Ancelotti’s position is no longer as secure as it once appeared. Internally, concerns are mounting at Real Madrid. Some club executives reportedly believe the veteran tactician has lost touch with portions of the squad.
The club is currently four points behind Barcelona in La Liga, and their results in key matches—including El Clásicos—have been underwhelming.
An early Champions League exit would be the tipping point. The pressure from both the fanbase and the boardroom could open the door for Brazil to finally get their man.
Ancelotti’s Crossroads
Ancelotti has never hidden his respect for Brazilian football and was previously linked with the national team. If Madrid stumble on Wednesday, Brazil will react instantly, with the plan already in place to lure him to South America.
Brazil is “waiting with the phone in hand,” ready to reactivate talks the moment Arsenal knock Madrid out.
The legendary coach could soon be faced with a monumental choice: stay and weather the storm at Madrid—or walk into the history books by taking charge of the most decorated national team on the planet.
All Eyes on Wednesday Night
It’s more than just a comeback on the line. Real Madrid are fighting for silverware, for pride—and possibly to keep their manager. If Arsenal hold their nerve, the fallout in Madrid could be seismic.
Stay tuned. Wednesday’s match may decide more than just a semifinal berth.
