Ancelotti got off the bus excited, glassy-eyed after seeing the atmosphere that the fans had created outside the stadium upon the team’s arrival. He smelled like a great European night. The Italian finished the match in the same way. Excited with the public and his players, with his eyes reddened by his tears… But he had time to leave on the grass one more detail of the old football fox. He approached Mbappé and shook his hand. Soon they will be able to continue writing the history of Madrid together. Mbappé has waited for his moment.
And the defeat loads him even more with reasons to take the step. The Italian coach had already earned the right to continue, even if the team had fallen with a crash. Because the duties in the League are more than done. A title that he already has almost in his pocket after reviving a team that with Zidane seemed dead and that has only had two new faces, that of Alaba and Camavinga. And that he is capable of doing things of such caliber as the one that was experienced at the Bernabéu.
Ancelotti has done magic with a transition squad and is confirmed as the perfect coach to command this incredible project that is yet to come with Mbappé, quite possibly Haaland and a new Bernabéu that ensures income. There are no more ‘buts’ to add. The Italian came back for this, to continue getting excited about football.
