Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti puts out bold statement amid doubts in UCL

Real Madrid are in serious danger of failing to reach the top eight of the Champions League group stages after recording just two wins in their first six games. However, Carlo Ancelotti has sent a message of confidence as he comes under renewed pressure.

The storm had calmed somewhat after wins over Osasuna and Leganes, but the defeat to Liverpool on Wednesday once again saw the Italian questioned after a disappointing performance. However, one of his close friends and GdS employee Alberto Cerrutti appeared on Cadena SER after speaking to Ancelotti. “You can tell them anything you want, but just say that Real Madrid is in the final in Munich,” Ancelotti responded to Cerrutti's message, referring to the Champions League final.

It wouldn't be the first time that Real Madrid have turned a seemingly capsizing season into a successful one with their European performances. Los Blancos tend to find form more often than not this spring, but the challenge for Ancelotti and Real Madrid will be to ensure they are in a place to strike when they reach that period of strength.
