Rome, Apr. 17 (LaPresse) – ‘Ancelotti needs a miracle’ headlines As after the elimination of Real Madrid by Arsenal, who won both the first match (3-0 at home) and the return match (1-2 at the Santiago Bernabeu) against the merengues, accessing the Champions League semifinal. In the Spanish sports daily's reading, Carlo Ancelotti's permanence on the Real bench for next year (theoretically the last of his contract) would be in the balance and would depend on whether the blancos win La Liga or the Copa del Rey, Barcelona permitting. ‘The future of Ancelotti, exonerated by the fans for the first leg disaster, is in doubt after his elimination from the Champions League,’ writes As. ‘What happens in the battle with Barcelona in the cup and in the league will be decisive.’ Marca, for its part, points out that Carletto ‘has been criticised for the team's lack of football and is in a difficult position for the future’. But the sports newspaper also asks a question about the timing of Ancelotti's eventual farewell: ‘If Ancelotti leaves the Real Madrid bench, when will he do so? Because there is the Club World Cup, the final of which will be played on 13 July. And a month later the championship will start'. For the Spanish version of Espn Carlo ‘Ancelotti does not know if he will continue coaching Real Madrid next season, after being eliminated in the quarter-finals of the Champions League’. But what future for Real's bench? The most popular name remains that of former Madrid midfielder Xabi Alonso, who led Bayer Leverkusen to win the Bundesliga last year. But some do not rule out a return of Zinedine Zidane or a possible interest in Jurgen Klopp.
