After Arsenal’s catastrophe, Pérez tells Ancelotti to let go of Real Madrid’s flop, saying, “I don’t want him in my team.”
After Real Madrid’s weak Champions League performance against Arsenal, tensions are running high at the club, and Florentino Pérez has reportedly given manager Carlo Ancelotti a harsh ultimatum: fire one underperforming player.
All indications suggest that Pérez is angry with Ferland Mendy, even though he hasn’t been named. The French left-back’s clumsy performance in the first leg, which included defensive blunders and reckless giveaways, infuriated supporters, employees, and now the club’s senior management.
After the game, Pérez confronted Ancelotti and didn’t hold back, according to club sources:
According to reports, he stated, “There is no room for passengers.” “Next season, I don’t want him on the team. Make the plans.
Club insiders claim that issue has been simmering for months and is not just a result of irritation following a poor game. Although there have always been worries about Mendy’s inconsistency, lack of offensive production, and propensity to falter under duress, the match against Arsenal might have been the final straw.
Additionally, a senior source stated:
“When the president says anything like this, it’s a mandate rather than a warning. There are already plans to get a new left-back.
Known for sticking with seasoned players, Ancelotti is currently in a difficult situation. However, Mendy’s time at the Bernabéu appears to be coming to an end as Pérez pushes for a summer change as the team wants to acquire a younger, more dynamic full-back.
Online, supporters have shared the attitude and demanded significant defensive reinforcements. Real Madrid has great expectations and wants to rule Europe once more, thus poor performance will not be accepted.
