I regret playing him today, this might be the very last time he will be allowed to play a game for me before he leaves by the end of the season”- Ancellotti has finally advised Academy player to get himself a new club by the end of the season following his shambolic performance today against Barcelona

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti did not hold back in his post-match press conference following his side’s 3-0 defeat to arch-rivals Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabéu this evening. The Italian tactician publicly called out one of the club’s academy players for what he described as a “shambolic performance,” suggesting it might be the last time the youngster features for the first team under his management.

Ancelotti’s Brutal Assessment

Speaking to the media after the disappointing Clásico loss, Ancelotti expressed deep frustration with the player’s contribution, hinting that his future at the club is all but over.

> “I regret playing him today, this might be the very last time he will be allowed to play a game for me before he leaves by the end of the season,” Ancelotti told reporters.

While the manager refrained from naming the player directly, sources within the club indicate that the comment was aimed at [Academy Player’s Name], who struggled throughout the match with misplaced passes, poor positioning, and a defensive error that directly led to Barcelona’s opening goal.

Future Away from Madrid

Ancelotti’s remarks effectively serve as a green light for the young player to begin searching for a new club ahead of the summer transfer window. The Italian manager, known for protecting his players in public, appeared unusually direct — a sign of his growing impatience in the high-stakes environment at Real Madrid.

The academy graduate, once tipped as a promising prospect within the club’s youth setup, has failed to cement a place in the senior squad this season, making sporadic appearances and struggling to impress during crucial moments.

Club Reaction and Next Steps

According to sources close to the club, discussions regarding the player’s future had already begun behind closed doors prior to tonight’s Clásico, with several LaLiga and Segunda División clubs monitoring his situation. Following Ancelotti’s stinging post-match comments, it now seems inevitable that the player will be moved on in the coming months.

Final Thoughts

With Real Madrid’s title hopes dented and pride wounded after a bruising defeat to their eternal rivals, Ancelotti’s outburst reflects both his disappointment in the result and a growing ruthlessness in reshaping the squad for next season.

The academy player’s chapter at the Bernabéu appears to be coming to an end, and while tonight’s performance may have sealed his fate under Ancelotti, it remains to be seen whether a fresh start elsewhere can help him rediscover the potential that once saw him tipped for stardom.
