Kylian Mbappe has set a deadline for his transfer decision as Real Madrid eagerly await the opportunity to make their move. Meanwhile, Real Madrid secured a narrow victory over Mallorca thanks to a Rudiger header.
Carlo Ancelotti’s legacy at Real Madrid is already cemented as one of the greats, having led Los Blancos to victory in every available competition. However, there is one elusive achievement that he must accomplish to truly solidify his status as the greatest Real Madrid coach of all time – the treble.
No Real Madrid coach has ever achieved the treble, but if Ancelotti can lead his team to victory in LaLiga, the UEFA Champions League, and the Copa del Rey, he will undoubtedly go down in history as one of the finest coaches of all time.
In his first season, Ancelotti led Real Madrid to victory in the Champions League and the Copa del Rey, but fell short in the league, finishing third behind bitter rivals Atletico Madrid. Similarly, Zinedine Zidane’s three consecutive Champions League wins with Real Madrid failed to secure the treble due to early exits from the domestic cups.
Ancelotti is now aiming to emulate Barcelona’s historic 2008/2009 season, where they won all available trophies, and rob them of the bragging rights they have held for 15 years. With Real Madrid in contention for LaLiga and the Champions League, Ancelotti has three more seasons to achieve what no Real Madrid coach has done before.
