Defending champion Iga Swiatek was bundled out of the Italian Open by American Danielle Collins, who beat the Polish world number two 6-1 7-5 in the round of 32 on Saturday.

Rodrygo has played a crucial role for Real Madrid under Ancelotti with 50 goals scored across all competitions since the start of 2022/23. The 24-year-old remained on the bench for Real Madrid title-defence-ending defeat at Barcelona on May 11 which has heightened the growing exit talk.

Barcelona scored four straight goals on their way to a 4-3 win and Hansi Flick's fourth victory over Madrid since arriving as Barca manager.

A change on the bench in Spain’s capital has long been on the cards, amid what has been a hugely underwhelming campaign on the part of Real Madrid to date.
