Real Madrid's Challenges Amidst Ancelotti's Tactical Tweaks

Real Madrid finds itself grappling with uncertainty despite securing the same points as Barcelona. A glance at Ancelotti's face shows the problem; the team lacks control and is barely managing to pull off victories. The Italian coach's experimental tactics with Tchouaméni confused even the player, leading back to a classic solution: Luka Modric's brilliant assist to Vinicius decided the match. Looking ahead to face Borussia and Barcelona next week, Ancelotti needs more from his squad or risk greater issues.

Modric, who made history as the oldest player to wear Madrid's jersey, continues to play a crucial role. Luckily, Real Madrid renewed his contract, as the team's performance demands his experience.

Kylian Mbappé scored an impressive goal, reflecting his integration into the squad with eight goals this season. However, Bellingham lacks scoring contributions and expresses frustration at not finding the net, despite his energetic presence. Ancelotti's tactical experiments have left players confused, especially in defensive roles. The absence of Rodrygo from the starting lineup reveals the shifts in strategy.

Despite an early goal from Mbappé, Madrid's defensive issues were evident. Courtois continues to be a lifesaver, showcasing critical skills early on and maintaining high performance throughout the match.
