Real Madrid Faces Uncertainty After Disappointing Season

Real Madrid is experiencing significant uncertainty after a disappointing season, having been eliminated from both the Champions League and Copa del Rey, and now likely to finish behind Barcelona in La Liga. Rodrygo Goes is considering his future at the club due to reduced playing time, lack of recognition, and uncertainty over who will coach the team next, with his decision hinging on the club's summer plans. The team's defensive crisis has deepened with Antonio Rüdiger sidelined for 6-8 weeks following knee surgery, possibly missing the Club World Cup, while Ferland Mendy and David Alaba are also out injured. Carlo Ancelotti is expected to depart, with Xabi Alonso emerging as the top candidate to become head coach. A major squad overhaul, including possible high-profile arrivals and departures, is anticipated in the off-season. Pressure is mounting on president Florentino Perez and club leadership to reshape the team if they fail to win the league title.
