Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti has emphasized the need for his team to strengthen their defense ahead of their upcoming La Liga match against Alaves on Sunday. This call to action follows a series of disappointing results, including a 3-0 defeat to Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-final first leg and conceding 11 goals in their last four matches across all competitions.
Ancelotti acknowledged a general decline in the team’s performance, particularly in defense, and stressed the importance of addressing these issues promptly. He noted that when the team’s offensive players are not performing at their usual high standards, it becomes even more crucial to have a solid defensive foundation.
Despite recent setbacks and media speculation about his future, Ancelotti remains focused and feels supported by the club. He emphasized that discussions about his position will take place at the end of the season, as his current contract runs until 2026.
