Ancelotti and Real Madrid… a love-hate story with Liverpool

CArlo Ancelotti is experiencing his most delicate moment at Real Madrid in recent years. His defeats against Barcelona and Juventus have led many to question his work. The Italian coach, despite the several problems he also has injuries, he remains calm, but he is aware that at Real Madrid things move very quickly and defeats do much more damage than any other team.

This is why there is a date marked on the calendar. The next Champions League clash will be played against Liverpool at Anfield. The English team are proving unstoppable in the Champions League, where they have won all four matches they have played, scoring ten goals and conceding just one. It's scary.

To all this, we must add Europe's morbid fascination with a duel between Liverpool and Real Madrid. The Whites have won their last two Champions League final encounters, including one with Ancelotti on the bench. However, the Italian surely experienced his worst moment as a coach when in 2005 he fell in the final of the European Cup against the English while coaching Milan. After leading 0-3, Liverpool equalized and then beat them on penalties. Perhaps the worst day of Carlo's coaching career.

Additionally, Ancelotti coached Everton, Liverpool's biggest rival, so he considers these duels a real Clasico. The English, for their part, see this match as a great opportunity. They face the team with whom they lost two consecutive Champions League finals, but whom they recently beat at Anfield by a score of four draws. But they also have Ancelotti as one of their great rivals all these years.

An uncertain future

And what's worse, Liverpool can deal a decisive blow to Real Madrid in this Champions League. A victory at Anfield would consolidate the English team's lead in Europe and leave Real Madrid with three points after five games, which would also shake the foundations of the Bernabeu and leave Ancelotti in a very delicate situation, almost untenable for him.

Without a doubt, in this love-hate story between Liverpool, Ancelotti and Real Madrid, it is the latter two who have the most to lose. On November 27 at Anfield, they will all meet in what will be one of the best matches of this Champions League season.
