"I've had a chat with the players and the club, and we're all on the same page: we're going to fight for the remaining titles," Ancelotti declared. "We're all sorry to have left the Champions League, but that's football. You can't always win."

"There's no rift between me and the club. We're all in this together. Anyone saying otherwise is just not telling the truth. The president shows me more affection now than when we were winning. This world is full of questions," he added.

When asked about his future, Ancelotti was clear: "Everything is possible, but we'll have to take stock at the end of the season. We have the final and the first Club World Cup to focus on."

"Brazil? We'll talk about that at the end of the season. For now, we're united, and these players have given me the chance to win two Champions Leagues."
