UEFA Champions League
Carlo Ancelotti found himself in the eye of the storm after Real Madrid suffered a defeat against Betis, a result that seriously complicates the fight for the LaLiga title. The white team fell 2-1 at the Benito Villamarín in a match where the lack of reaction from the bench ended up being crucial.
Waiting for Barcelona's match, Madridistas could see the championship slipping even further away, with the Italian coach being the main target of criticism from fans and the press.
Carlo Ancelotti made many mistakes
From the first fifteen minutes, Betis took control of the match, and Madrid never managed to regain dominance. Ancelotti couldn't find solutions to stop the growth of the verdiblanco side, and his substitutions also failed to change the course. Neither Endrick nor Arda Güler were able to make a difference when they came on in the second half, leaving the team without offensive responses.
Furthermore, the decision to keep David Alaba in the starting eleven after his recovery, instead of Raúl Asencio, who has been the most reliable defender this season, backfired. The defense showed too many weaknesses and allowed Betis to find spaces easily. The lack of tactical adjustments and the absence of reaction from the bench left Madrid without the tools to avoid a defeat that could be decisive in the title race.
