Therefore, at this time they have to find another alternative because basically with the 2 striker scheme the fact is still a little complicated.
I don't really understand why Ancelotti used 4-1-2-1-2 in some of their friendlies because if you look at Madrid's playing history I think it would be better if Madrid tried the standard formation in 4-3-3 because it can still be used.
Jude can still be flexible as an attacking midfielder. Second strikers are good too but when their target man is struggling it's clear the 4-1-2-1-2 formation won't work well.

On the other hand, it is still not too late if you want a new striker if you feel Joselu is still unsatisfactory because there is still at least 1 month left until the player transfer is closed.

Benzema's role was very important for real madrid in the past. Joselu can't be as good as benzema. Remember that if joselu was not benzema. Just because he was making a beautiful goal, and it doesn't mean he has the same skill as benzema. benzema is far higher compared with him.
I think that this problem can be solved if madrid will able to get mbappe from PSG but the problem if i kinda feel that if mbappe is also being so selfish. It's very hard for real madrid to get a replacement for benzema.
Barcelona was able humiliating the club in the previous match. Ancelotti sees that as a poor result from real madrid and he may think his team was not strong enough to face barcelona. The same result may happen again if ancelotti is not doing something.
Ancelotti feels disappointed with the result achieved by real madrid against barcelona. Madrid's shoots were hitting the crossbar for 5 times in a row which is an unbelievable thing for ancelotti.

Yes, I learned about Guler's problem too late. I think he's fine, in fact I'm always waiting for him to show in friendlies in pre-season. Actually very pity, he is still young and probably wants to experience La Liga games soon. I hope Madrid are not wrong in handling Guler's injury. I was worried because they had made good signings that failed to improve after the season started. With his current condition, hopefully he can recover quickly because he is also young. 

Arda Guler is out for 2 months due to meniscus damage. He is really unlucky that he has got injured right after completing a dream transfer for himself. He is going to miss quite many matches and he will need some time to have a good level of match fitness after that as well. Of course he wasn't going to be in the starting eleven right away. But he is going to miss the chance to show his skills in pre-season to increase his chance to play in official matches as often as possible.

Firstly I saw the news like a specialist at Real Madrid said that it would take him 5 months to return. Thankfully it isn't that serious now.

real madrid has always had a history of signing great players, but from what I see in recent seasons they have spent a lot of money on some players who were a disappointment, it is not the case here that I keep mentioning the names of these players who cost a lot and were a disappointment, I believe that bad experience affected the team a lot, and as real madrid managed to do well with Vinicius and Rodrygo and bezema, they managed to win La liga and the european champions league, so real madrid saw no reason to spend a lot on signings because they have a good squad, but the problem started with benzema injuries and when Vinicius and Rodrygo played without benzema they lost



unfortunately it is something that should be taken as a reference because it was not a simple friendly, both teams put their best into the field and we all know that barcelona is always a candidate for the title and losing against barcelona has always been painful, something very bad. not to mention that it was not a game in which they were competitive on both sides, the result is obvious: real madrid was humiliated, conceding 3 goals and not being able to score at least 1 goal is something humiliating


real madrid has had a good defense when they try hard, the problem is that when a team doesn't have a strong attack that scores a lot of goals they can't compensate for their fragile defense, and as a result the team starts accumulating a lot of defeats, that real madrid squad I don't think they can win La Liga in my opinion, real madrid should focus their efforts on bringing mbappe, it would have been much better for them to spend money on mbappe because in the long run real madrid would profit a lot but it's strange that they keep focusing on novice players

It's a shame that in his first season he couldn't make his debut with Real Madrid, if he gets surgery, it's certain he can only play in the second half of next season. Even though he can take advantage of the moment to gain experience playing with Modric before the veteran player's contract expires in June 2024.

On the pre-season tour of Madrid, Ancelotti has never even played Arda Guler. It is possible that Guler will be registered next season and will be together with another Barcelona vitor roque.

Update regarding the development of the injury experienced by Arda Guler after previously having to return to Madrid early. This unpleasant news required Arda Guler to be sidelined for two months after suffering an injury during pre-season training. It's really unfortunate when pre-season can be a benchmark for a team before undergoing an official competition but has to lose one of its talented players. I think considering that Arda Guler was too happy to join Real Madrid that he gets too excited in every training session and that is normal. But before that he must be able to train his muscles first with Pintus so he can avoid being prone to injury.

Meanwhile, another Real Madrid player, Ferlan Mendy, was also reported injured, who had to be sidelined for a month after suffering a hamstring injury during the El Clasico pre-season match against Barcelona a few days ago. It seems that this will be a test again for Real Madrid after losing several players due to injury but in depth the Real Madrid squad is still safe and not too bothered.

Bad news for Real Madrid fans, released from Goal.com, Real Madrid is considering canceling the registration of new recruit Arda Guler in the first half of next season. Its seems serious injured got from Arda Guler on pre season training center, actually absent first half season is bad impact for him because fans huge expectation for Arda Guler have impressive performance on pre season training. Regarding from Mundo Deportivo, Arda Guler Arda Guler will undergo surgery in the near future and it is estimated that he will need up to 5 months to recover. Its bad impact for Real Madrid loss Arda Guler for first half season although still have several position can replace with his position but disappointed can watch Guler debut with Real Madrid.

come on mate, we have to forget about Benzema and try to believe in his replacements, even though Vinicius and Rodrygo can not appear as strong as Benzema, but at least Bellingham can be something that can replace Benzema quality and we do not just look at matches with Barcelona, but look at matches with other teams like matches with Man United which is extraordinary to be able to beat MU.
we must remember that Real Madrid goal is not only in the La Liga competition but also in other competitions such as the Champions League, so we have to compare matches with other teams as well, not only with matches in other leagues.
Im pretty sure that even though Madrid lost their flagship player, Bellingham was able to perform well to contribute to Madrid to revive the team towards other competitions.

The match against Barcelona is not a reference point but Madrid must feel that it will be difficult unlike the initial expectations.
Making significant changes with 2 strikers and 1 second striker is not as easy as it seems.
Indeed, in the end, there are still 3 up front but it is difficult with Vini and Rodrygo who sometimes only act as scramblers for the opponent's defense but are not accompanied by a goal-hungry striker like Benzema.
Joselu is actually still quite capable but it would be better if there was the addition of at least 1 superior striker.
On the other hand, Ancelotti must be aware that in the defeat against Barcelona some time ago, their defense towards the end was very slack and this needs to be improved again because it is very strange when usually Madrid is always a club with last minute specialists but in the match against Barcelona a few days ago they were the ones who conceded 2 goals in the final minutes.

Barcelona and Real Madrid will always be the strong contender for race title and it just happend for each season that both teams always be joined the race to get Laliga title and for Atletico Madrid indeed compared to other teams in Laliga only them who can able to broke the domination of Barcelona and Madrid and just like i said before Simeone was successfully to make Atletico as strong team in this competition without huge money and for next season although they have small chances but i think Atletico Madrid also can be considered as the contender for race title

Atletico Madrid didn't spend a lot of money to gets the players this summer but maybe because Simeone was very confident with Atletico the current squad so that's why they didn't bought much players to strengthen the team but Atletico got experience player César Azpilicueta from Chelsea with free transfer status and he will make Atletico's defense stronger especially on the right side which was one of their weaknesses last season

Real Madrid cannot expect much from Vinicius and Rodrygo up front without the support of a quality striker like Benzema. Joselu is only a complement to the void, he cannot be the best choice because his quality is still below the strikers that Madrid currently have. The defeat to Barcelona needs to be evaluated immediately, they really need a quality striker to improve quality on the front lines. Of course, Real Madrid still really needs a top-class striker in order to maintain their chances of making up for last season's failure.

I don't think so. In principle, what both teams are going to concentrate on most is La Liga, which is where they will play the most games from the start, and only depending on results, if a team does badly in La Liga but well in the Champions League, they may end up concentrating on the Champions League, but in general what they concentrate on most from the start is the league.

Something like that happened at the end of last season when Madrid concentrated more on the Champion League, although they failed to win it.

The next season, La Liga will be another dual race between Barcelona and Real Madrid like the past season. Barcelona will get more challenge from Real Madrid as Los Blancos will have some new players from this summer transfer and they will become a stronger team in a coming season. Barcelona will have more concentration on Champions League after their failure in the last season. It might affect their focus on La Liga and give Real Madrid chances to take the trophy back.

Dembele already wanted to leave Barcelona in the last summer but Xavi successfully convinced Dembele to stay in Camp Nou. Now it's time for him to leave Barcelona where his career was revived by Xavi management. In some past seasons, Dembele only brought disappointment to Barcelona with very little appearances, unprofessional in training and very limited contributions. He only became more useful after Xavi came and took over the coach position, then helped Dembele to play better in the club and even was called for French national squad.

After gaining some success with Barcelona, Dembele wants to leave so his loyalty for Barcelona is in doubt. Do you want to keep such players in your club? If I am Barcelona Sport director, I will let Dembele go and use money from his transfer to buy one or two young players.

Ousmane Dembélé has already agreed to terms with the bidding club, PSG, and the Frenchman hopes to join them this summer. Next season, as usual, we expect a lot of action from Los Blancos and the blaugrana, which is exactly how they will keep winning the La Liga an aspiration. Barcelona and Real Madrid have been the dominant clubs in La Liga for decades. Athletico Madrid are only hiding in these clubs' shadows; nothing wrong with it, but they should step out and become a leading elite club on their own, perhaps it would be difficult but things have to changed for the better for them.

Players like Vinicius and Rodrygo are very important players for Real Madrid. They will feel the absence of Benzema as a forward. Therefore, more work falls on the attacking midfield. They may have the offensive power with Joselu, but I still think it will be insufficient. Worse things could happen for Real Madrid if Joselu gets injured.

The trial match is only a part to see the extent of the strengths and weaknesses they have, the coach can play the young players they have and can later enter the core squad during the competition. Ousmane Dembele's contract ended until June 2024, the Frenchman was indeed being monitored by PSG and was likely to move there with a five -year contract.

Ousmane Dembele performed well in the trial match and he was also important when he beat Real Madrid. Last season Ousmane Dembele's appearance was not very consistent because he often suffered injuries, so his appearance was not so optimal. If the agreement joins PSG is reached, Barcelona must lose a winger which basically has good quality.

La Liga dominance dominance by three teams only has chance for winning tittles from Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, actually Atletico success destroying Real Madrid and Barcelona dominance for winning La Liga tittles in season 2020/21 but last three years have dropped performance and finished under Barcelona and Real Madrid position. For next season I doubt with Barcelona can defend their La Liga tittle because they loss several players but not active for signing potential player. Ousmane Dembele have confirmed for joining PSG next season and Barcelona can't find right replacement on left or right position filled by Dembele. I think Rea Madrid have bigger chance winning La Liga tittles next season after improvement their squad.

Vinicius and Rodrygo were still immature and lacked the courage to fight independently. We can see this when facing heavyweights like Barcelona. The tactic that Real Madrid is applying is to take advantage of young players. The young players were also embarrassed by the lack of coordination in the absence of the central striker last season, Karim Benzema. They need the veterans Luka Modric and Toni Kroos to guide the young players in the game.
We need more time for Vinicius and Rodrygo to be confident and brave enough to step out of the shadow of their seniors, even to shine brightly.

Manchester city is still keeping some of its important players like KDB. City was very strong once KDB was playing caused by he just like the brain of manchester city in the field. He was always controlling the ball for manchester city.
So many times KDB has been helping haaland so much in making the goals. The last match's result was unreliable, but it showed improvements for Atletico Madrid. They still have a lower chance of winning compared to Barcelona and Real Madrid..


Fermin lopez is still in the adaptation to the main squad. Barcelona had no choice other than use player from its academic to play in the main club, but this is also very important to make sure if barcelona will not always rely on buying the new player from another club.
Fermin lopez did 1 assist and 1 goal against madrid. I think that he has bright future. His performance was amazing in the previous match but it's too fast to counting on him. Lopez needs more time to adapt.
We shall not rush to expect something big to this young player.
