The cleaning that is coming to Real Madrid after City’s beating in the Champions League, with Ancelotti in doubt

The defeat for a landslide real Madrid by the hand of Manchester City It wasn’t one more in history, but it had an impact and aggressiveness in the Merengue world. Receiving a 0-4 in the decisive moments, one against one, is something difficult to digest according to what marks the club’s history in the Champions League. And the Spanish capital’s press is already starting to draw up lists of possible victims of such a blow.

Form always counts and even more when it comes to the most successful team on the continent and the current champion. The superiority it usually represents at the world level has failed to prevail in the face of the physical and football array of the led Pep Guardiolawhich left uncovered the deficiencies that had lately been covered by local victories, such as obtaining the Copa del Rey after beating Barcelona in the semifinals.

The feeling in Madrid is that a generational change is needed, but it will be difficult to deal with the weight of these players, who have won five Champions Leagues in the last nine years.

Therefore, it is estimated that they will leave the team sooner rather than later. Florentino’s intentions would be to refresh the roster with new figures, relegating today’s leaders.

But there are also names that seem to be with one foot outside the establishment in the Spanish capital. Either for lack of minutes they have or considering they have completed a cycle. Footballers like the Dominican Mariano (expiry of contract), Jesús Vallejo, Álvaro Odriozola, Ferland Mendy, Marco Asensio and Daniel Ceballos They seem to be the ones who will be considered transferable and the club’s offers will be felt for them.
