Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti it is no illusion that he is under serious pressure, due to his recent form, and especially defeats to Barcelona and AC Milan. If it was, then the club has removed that doubt.
According to MarcoReal Madrid's top brass met with Ancelotti last week, after their heartbreaking defeat at Barcelona, in which they expressed their calm and support in Ancelotti to turn around the side's poor run.
However, the nature of the meeting was different after another passive performance against AC Milan, and an equally worrying result. Shortly after the match against Milan, Ancelotti met again with the hierarchy of the club, because they wanted to take their thoughts in the heat of the moment. Ancelotti was asked if he felt capable of turning things around, and if he still felt he had the players' trust.

Currently the club does not have the feeling that they had just before the exit of Rafael Benitez, or Julen Lopetegui, and there is still a dialogue and a relationship in existence. Ancelotti told the club that he still believes footballers believe in what they do, despite the worrying contrast with that statement on the pitch.
Most expected a response from Real Madrid on Tuesday night against a Milan team that sits seventh, and has been beaten in three of its last six ties. As much as the result was a concern for Los Blancos and their European hopes this season, the performance was arguably their worst of the season, even taking into account their battle at the hands of Barcelona.
