Past, present, future
Ancelotti knew that the trio combination would end sooner or later. However, for now he believes all three can still play at a high level to help Los Blancos.

“They are the past, present and future. If we talk about the future that is not too far away, of course it is still very possible,” continued Ancelotti.

“If we talk about the next 10 years, maybe not anymore. Even so, our situation is quite good for the future,” he said.

Hard to explain
