Here’s a word-for-word paraphrase of the passage you shared, keeping all quoted parts intact:

—

Real Madrid’s exit from the UEFA Champions League has left their supporters stunned, with their strong ambitions to come back against Arsenal falling short. Yet, amid the letdown, president Florentino Perez has given coach Carlo Ancelotti a vote of confidence about his position, as reported by DefensaCentral.

Even though the criticism directed at the coaching staff is growing, and Ancelotti’s future is facing increased questions, Perez stressed that the club is not thinking about making a managerial change. Following the painful loss, the Real Madrid president said to the Italian manager, *“Today’s result is a tough blow, it’s really… but we still have La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Club World Cup, so we can still achieve the treble, and it would be a great season.”*

Perez’s message aims to ease the tension surrounding the uncertainty about the manager’s role. Despite being knocked out of Europe, Perez envisions Ancelotti guiding the squad during the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup, and potentially longer, backing the idea that the Italian’s time at the club is not coming to an end yet.

Media attention on Ancelotti’s status led to an uneasy post-match press conference, where little attention was paid to the actual contest with Arsenal, and more focus was placed on the speculation over the coach’s exit. The key issue now is whether Ancelotti can salvage the season by winning trophies in the competitions that remain.
