Ancelotti pays the price for trophyless season

Ancelotti sacked!
Real and Barca shared La Liga's Clasico spoils but Luis Enrique's side
proved too hot to handle over the season, while Ancelotti's former club
Juventus did the damage to Real's hopes in Europe.
Former Real striker Alvaro Morata was instrumental for Juve as Real were
denied a final meeting with Barca, losing their two-legged semi-final
3-2 on aggregate.
"Injuries have burdened us, especially [the absence of Luka] Modric," said
Ancelotti. "I think that with Isco, James Rodriguez and Toni Kroos, the
team played well and we achieved many victories with this system."
Ancelotti was eventually let go on May 25 after two seasons at the helm.
While the Italian struggled to finish with a flourish and exited a year from
the end of his contract, his delivery of the much-craved 'Decima' to the
Bernabeu will always see him held in high regard.
"What did Ancelotti do wrong? I don't know. The demands here at Real
Madrid are very high," said Perez.
"The affection that the players and the fans have for Carlo is the same as
the affection I myself have for him."
