“We can't let him fall” – the players of Real Madrid challenged in support of Carlo Ancelotti

Real Madrid have had a busy season so far, and it looked set to become even more so when they trailed Borussia Dortmund 2-0 at half-time in their Champions League match on Tuesday. However, they were able to bounce back in spectacular fashion, scoring five goals in the second half to secure a 5-2 success.

Because of these challenges, Carlo Ancelotti has been under significant pressure. He was back at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday, but his players were determined to fight in his honor. Ace for Marcoshouts of “we can't let the coach fall” were heard from the Real Madrid dressing room.

There is no doubt that Ancelotti is a very popular figure among his team. Both parties did not have everything right in these opening weeks of the season, but Real Madrid will be hoping that second-half performance against Dortmund can be a turning point – that can be shown at the weekend when Barcelona come to town for the first El Clasico meeting of the campaign.
