Let's also not forget that last season at the beginning of the season they played well only towards the middle of the season and towards the end of their performance deteriorated so seeing things like this could not this also be one of the possibilities that happened.
Their mentality is good I'm aware of that but when they can't maintain consistency with a lot of schedules (like last season) then the worst possibility of last season is also repeated.
Of course, this competition does not only run in one or two games. But it will take a long time and many games will be passed. Last season there were some injury problems and the age of the Madrid players is quite old. Anceloti has realised that and they are starting to regenerate. Just look at new names like Bellingham and Guler. But the bad thing is that some of their best players are currently suffering from severe injuries and long breaks.
In stark contrast to last season, Real Madrid only had a few injured players. However, at the start of this season, many Real Madrid players suffered injuries, even worse, in almost every line, they lost important players. One of the most crucial is perhaps the injury to Vinicius Jr. because he injured his right bicep femoris and it is estimated that Vinicius Jr. will be out of action for around six weeks. Of course, this will be a problem for Real Madrid in the future, considering that Vini is an important player on the front line who is always a problem for the opponent's defense.
I think the injuries to several Real Madrid players will make Carlo Ancelotti panic a little because up to now Real Madrid's front line is still empty at number nine. Now we know Real Madrid's mainstay, only Jude Bellingham has so far always scored goals and saved Real Madrid from three points. Maybe now is the time for Carlo Ancelotti to play Brahim, and hopefully he can show that he deserves to return to Real Madrid by showing his quality. As per rumors circulating, yesterday he admitted that he was furious with Carlo Ancelotti's diamond formation. Now, with Vini injured, he will be given playing time. Like it or not, he will give his best for Real Madrid, we should wait for this in the next match.
