Big internal war at Real Madrid for the Mercato?

The next day was tough for Real Madrid.

Proof of this disagreement, Ancelotti opened the door to arrivals during a few press conferences, which was not the case before since he always showed his alignment with the club’s choices.

One thing is certain, the Italian was not gentle with his defense last night: “I don’t want to point fingers at anyone. They didn’t defend well at the back. The team was not compact. We have to defend better. The plan was to defend well. We defended poorly and Barcelona deserved to win. They were better than us. We defended poorly and it cost us the match. They found the goals very easily. We didn’t press high and we didn’t press low either…“. The next few days promise to be hectic…
