Real Madrid Butragueno refuses to back Ancelotti (TWICE!)

Real Madrid chief Emilio Butragueno refused to confirm Carlo Ancelotti for next season last night.

Ancelotti is under pressure after Real were dumped out of the Champions League by Juventus.

Asked if the Italian will continue, Butragueno replied: "Today what we have to do is be united. Stick together and we all win. The sadness is pervasive.

"We congratulate Juventus. Now we have to finish the Liga in the best way possible."

Pressed again, he would only say: "Today is a night where we have fallen, that is important. Everyone is sad. Everything else is secondary."
