Zidane, in serious danger

The disaster against Shakhtar was similar to that of six weeks ago in Valdebebas.

Only the order of the factors changed, because this sinking came after the break.

In such a vociferous, lamentable way that it is difficult to list those responsible.

That task should urgently correspond to

, if the Real Madrid coach reaches the last game of the league.

Right now, his presence next Wednesday against Borussia is not guaranteed.

After the final whistle in Kiev,

began to receive an inclement bombardment on his mobile from advisers and friends.

The general feeling pointed to a change on the bench, with which to save the

against the Germans.

A demanding test where Madrid could not even depend on itself.

"I am not going to resign," said Zidane from the Olympic press room, where his argument was limited to "a bad run of results."

"We had a great first half, but we couldn't score. Now there's one game left and we have to win it," he added in a gloomy tone.

As dark as the precipice that opens under your feet.

The affront of the Europa League can engulf a coach who in these five Champions League days has added as many defeats as in his 18 previous group stage matches.

Nor had Madrid ever conceded nine goals at this stage of the tournament.

The figures are devastating for

, exposed, like any coach, to the most drastic of decisions.

In circles close to the presidency, some of Zidane's ideas are not understood, stubborn in rotations, as he demonstrated again with

in Kiev.

Without the Brazilian's anchor, the team could not oppose the rapid transitions of the Shakthar.

Right now, one of the few alibis the French has is the plague of injuries that has plagued his squad.

The absences of essential players such as

,

and Eden Hazard once again weighed heavily against Shakhtar.

In case everything is precipitated,

continues to appear as the most suitable candidate for the replacement.

The tactical wealth of the Argentine, without employment his dismissal at Tottenham, and his firmness in managing the locker room have long convinced the noble zone of the box.

These are hours of deep concern for Florentino, whose glorious legacy in the Champions League can be tainted by the scorn of the Europa League.

There are no precedents for Madrid in the second continental competition because in 1994, the date of their last participation, it was still called the UEFA Cup.
