Real Madrid fans rage on Perez: “What else does Ancelotti need to do to get sacked?” | OneFootball

Saturday night was another bitter pill to swallow for Real Madrid as they lost 3-2 to Barcelona in the finals of the Copa del Rey.

It was a third El Clasico defeat of the season for Real Madrid and second in the finals after they were also beaten in the grand finale of the Spanish Super Cup by their arch-rivals.

Fans frustrated

Given that Real Madrid have now been eliminated from the UEFA Champions League and lost the Copa del Rey as well, frustration among the fans is growing high.

Manager Carlo Ancelotti once again finds himself in the crosshairs after the team once again came up short in a big game this season.

Real Madrid once again looked like a team without a proper plan or a tactic for large parts of the game, there was a lack of clear style or identity to the way the team plays, as has been the case for much of the season.

Naturally, there is a lot of criticism coming towards Ancelotti despite the goodwill he has earned among the fans having won 15 trophies with the club.

In fact, some sets of supporters even targeted Real Madrid president Florentino Perez after the Copa defeat, imploring him to change the manager.

“Perez.. What else should Ancelotti do to get sacked?”

The UCL elimination at the hands of Arsenal had left Ancelotti’s job hanging by a thread. Last night’s cup final loss could end up being the final straw.

As was reported earlier this week, Perez is set to hold a meeting with Ancelotti to make a decision on his future, with the outcome of the cup final said to be critical to which way the president leans.

Now that Real Madrid ended up losing the contest and another major trophy, there is a high chance that Ancelotti is sacked in the coming weeks.
