Last night was the final nail in the coffin of Julen Lopetegui's career as Real Madrid coach.
Barcelona toyed with the Real Madrid line-up during their meeting at Camp Nou and handed them a 5-1 thrashing at the end of the match.
Real have seen a steep downfall since their Champions League title win.
Los Blancos management is likely to bring in Antonio Conte.

Reports suggest that Antonio Conte is already in talks with Real Madrid authorities to take over as their new manager.
His deal with Chelsea is embroiled in a legal fiasco, and if it gets resolved, Real are ready to announce him the manager as early as today.
If there is a delay, Santiago Solari will be appointed as the interim manager.

Be it Juventus or Chelsea, success has followed Antonio Conte whichever club he has managed.
With Juventus, Conte won Serie A on three consecutive occasions- 2011-12, 2012-13, and 2013-14.
With Chelsea, he managed to win the Premier League in his very first season, and also gave them the FA Cup victory in 2017-18.
Someone with his success rate is desperately needed at Madrid.
