Carlo Ancelotti faced the press ahead of Real Madrid’s crucial clash against Barcelona, but what began as a routine press conference quickly turned emotional.

Asked whether the "honeymoon" with Real Madrid was over, the Italian coach paused, visibly moved, before delivering a heartfelt reflection that many fans are interpreting as a possible farewell.

"The honeymoon never ends with this club," Ancelotti said with emotion in his voice. "It will continue forever. Both Real Madrid and Milan are teams that stay in my heart more than others because of the time I’ve spent here and because I feel so good here. It’s like relationships: at first, there’s a lot of passion, and when that fades, affection and other things grow. The honeymoon will last until the last day of my life."

The veteran coach’s words touched fans across the globe, with many interpreting them as a sentimental goodbye, or at least an acknowledgment that the end of his time at the Bernabéu might be near.
