Real have quickly responded this morning, denying Ancelotti's claims.
They said in a statement: “Real Madrid CF announces that at no time has its participation in the new Club World Cup to be organized by FIFA in the next 2024/2025 season been questioned.
"Therefore, our club will compete, as planned, in this official competition that we face with pride and with the utmost enthusiasm to make our millions of fans around the world dream again with a new title."
