Florentino Perez not happy with Carlo Ancelotti stance on Real Madrid starter

Real Madrid has faced a challenging season, despite being competitive in La Liga and the Champions League.

A congested fixture schedule has led to numerous injuries, particularly in midfield, resulting in Luka Modric playing more than expected. Modric has started key matches against teams like Liverpool and AC Milan, both of which ended in losses for Real Madrid.

Despite concerns from club president Florentino Perez, who believes the 39-year-old should not feature heavily in major games, manager Carlo Ancelotti continues to rely on Modric.

Perez holds high regard for Modric's contributions over the years but may question his role in the second half of the season, with his future starts uncertain.
