Carlo Ancelotti has concerns about the sheer number of matches Real Madrid may face this season, potentially up to 72, excluding national team games. He likens this campaign to hell.
Real Madrid is competing for 7 titles: the UEFA Super Cup, La Liga, Copa del Rey, Spanish Super Cup, Champions League, Club World Cup, and Intercontinental Cup.
The new Champions League format adds 2 extra group stage games, and the FIFA Club World Cup could add up to 7 more matches.
Additionally, national team commitments further increase the number of games for players. Many unions and leagues have criticized this demanding schedule, urging FIFA and UEFA to reduce unnecessary matches.
