Real Madrid is still alive in all three competitions this season, competing for the La Liga title, having reached the cup final, and being in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

This season has been challenging for Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti, who has struggled to find the right combination for the royal team, along with the team's fluctuating results and lack of a strong performance so far.

Ancelotti has been linked with a departure from Real Madrid at the end of the current season, amidst interest from the Brazilian national team in securing his services, noting that his contract with the royal club runs until 2026.

The fate of the Italian coach with Real Madrid will be determined in the coming weeks; if the team fails to secure titles and trophies, Ancelotti's future will be at stake.

Real Madrid will face Barcelona twice, the first on April 26 in the cup final, and the second in the 35th round of La Liga on May 11, in a match that could be decisive for the La Liga title this season.

If Real Madrid falls in both encounters against Barcelona, it would mean losing two titles, placing the Italian coach in a difficult position and hastening his departure from the team at the end of the current season.

It is worth mentioning that Xabi Alonso, the Bayer Leverkusen coach, is the leading candidate to take over Real Madrid if Ancelotti leaves.
