Real Madrid’s Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti reacts prior to the UEFA Champions League final football match between Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid, at Wembley stadium, in London, on June 1, 2024. Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti denied on Monday that the Champions League winners would refuse to play in next season’s expanded Club World Cup, claiming comments he made to an Italian newspaper had been misinterpreted.
Ancelotti had been quoted in Monday’s edition of Il Giornale saying that “players and clubs will not participate” in the new tournament.“A single Real Madrid match is worth 20 million euros and FIFA wants to give us this amount for the entire Cup,” he is quoted as saying. “So no. Like us, other clubs will refuse the invitation.”
“Real Madrid C. F. would like to announce that at no time has there been any question regarding our participation in the new Club World Cup to be organised by FIFA in the coming 2024/2025 season,” the club said in a statement on its website.
