I see a number of Madrid fans writing negative things about Ancelotti. I think that's unfair. He won everything with Madrid and deserves better farewell no matter the ending. I think the problem with the current Madrid is not just the coach

Don't mind them. Now if Madrid was winning everything, would that be competition? Madrid fans should grow up. How many coaches are able to do what Ancheloti did? If it was not Ancheloti, Man City would have dominated Europe in the recent years. Man City was too good for teams to handle but Ancheloti neutralized them. Ancheloti is one of the greatest coaches in the world.
