It makes no sense to rely on young players in important matches when you have all the star players you need in the squad. Coaches can rotate one or two main players with young players, but they will only do so when the team is leading the match with a score that is considered safe so that the risk of defeat can be minimized. Ancelotti or especially Real Madrid are not used to relying on young players, so don't expect to see them playing big matches with such a young line-up.

Barcelona has made progress as expected, but it's clearly not just about this season. Hansi Flick has fixed Xavi's shortcomings for Barcelona so far, so Barcelona under him looks better and more consistent. However, some things might be different if Hansi Flick got his main player injured, this could affect the team's performance. But fortunately, so far Barcelona has created a fairly safe points gap from its toughest rivals.

Yes, La Liga, like other competitions, is a long marathon

I remain optimistic and i really hope that Carlo Ancelotti will be able to fix what isnt working at the moment.
He has always succeeded, he will succeed this time too. in my opinion

It is clear that with this physical decline, Barcelona can breathe a sigh of relief

The gab between the two of them is just much and it does not even look like our favorite which is Madrid can even catch up with them, ot is clear to us that Madrid have already lost this battle, and what is surprising me is what happened to Madrid that they are finding it hard to catch up, they just far behind because Barcelona is like nine points ahead of Real Madrid and it is still counting because they won't be losing any game, the night Barcelona can play now will not be more than draw, Madrid is now found their self in a situation that they have to be considered if they will be able to win Valencia or not.


Their frontline of the Real Madrid needs maintenance and what is the possible way for them to be able to maintain a good frontline, and this is like one of their worse seasons they can not even maintain stability for some period of time and with all the attackers and with all the meildfield they have and they are still struggling to maintain blance in the club, and even if Ancelotti wants to resolve everything all will happen next season, the harm is already done this season, next time to them.

I know I know. Your comparison with Yamaha really made me laugh and roll with laughter ahah
However, it is undeniable even for a fan that something is wrong: look at the defeat against Milan, it is obvious that Real Madrid are at leasst x3 times superior.
How can you lose against Milan if something goes wrong?

Ancelotti seems really tired to me at the moment

I think Kroos' departure is more significant for Real's failures this season than Mbappe's arrival. Is Mbappe worse than Joselu? I'm sure not. It's a shame that the atmosphere in the Real Madrid dressing room is apparently starting to heat up, it seems Perez wants Guller and Endrik to get more playing time, but Ancelotti can't fit everyone on the pitch. Bellingham is also not playing the football he wants. I hope all these problems will be resolved as soon as possible.

Goes up and down is common in any team, including a team like Real Madrid, therefore this is also a challenge for Don Carlo to fix his team regardless of several players who are injured. the postponed match against Valencia is not known when it will be held, what is certain is that Madrid must immediately return to the real track. the current situation experienced by Madrid is not because Madrid players are incompetent, we know how strong the depth of the team they have. but the problem is that Don Carlo has not found the ideal pattern for his team, just look at how often he changes formations in several of his matches. whether it's with a single striker, a duet striker or even the classic three striker pattern with 4-4-3. this indicates that the Madrid players are not yet compatible with each other, not only because Ancelotti is confused about placing the right position for Mbappe. even before Mbappe, Madrid was very powerful even though they did not have a pure striker to rely on. Don Carlo believes in his 4-3-1-2 system, or 4-2-3-1 when Joselu was still there.  Well, according to my observation, one of the factors that makes Madrid's performance inconsistent is the ideal pattern, regardless of the injured players and Kroos' retirement. But what is certain is that the competition still has many matches and Madrid will return to its path. Let's see how hard Ancelotti will try to get his team back on the right track.

This is all the effect after losing their mainstay midfielder Toni Kroos, of course this is a big obstacle that occurred in the Real Madrid squad this season, even relying on young players is certainly very difficult for Real Madrid to develop, it is clear in several important matches the defense is helpless and even the attackers they have are meaningless, bringing in Mbappe is actually a disaster for Real Madrid, of course their rivals are much more developed with the squad that Barcelona has, even though they don't have expensive players in their squad, they are able to prove to Real Madrid, that bringing in world-class players does not make the club a scary specter, in fact it is the opposite.

Well, this is what Ancelotti can't imitate from Hansi Flick, we look at the list of players, they both have talented young players, but here Ancelotti seems to not trust the player when Real Madrid's game on the field does not show development or is less creative in building attacks. It is rare for me to see young players played like in last night's match when Mbappe no longer contributed much, there should be a change. It seems that Ancelotti gives too much trust to the French international player, I admit that Mbappe is a star player, but he does not fit Ancelotti's tactics, I feel that Real Madrid's formation last season was better than the current one.

Some people say that Ancelotti is a player who does not have many variations in tactics and only relies on the individual abilities of each player. This makes Real Madrid's gameplan easy to predict by their opponents. Of course I think that is not entirely true. Ancelotti is a coach who has won many trophies so it is impossible for him to only have 1 or 2 tactics. But on the other hand it seems that Real Madrid really needs a midfielder like Kroos. Some people think Vini is the one who contributes greatly to Madrid but for me Kroos is the key player and the most important player in Real Madrid because Ancelotti needs a midfielder with extraordinary vision to provide the ball for their attackers.

Real Madrid is having a difficult season, I'm not sure what Ancelotti will do against Real Madrid's frontline, given Mbappe isn't doing well in that striking capacity. I don't think he can pick form in that number 9. Ancelotti needs to change his statistics because Madrid can't improve that way. Look at how they played against Ac Milla yesterday; only Bellingham worked hard in that game, and they probably substituted him. They should have substituted Mbappe first, then Bellingham. Mbappe is not posing; it is Bellingham who is moving forward and performing what Mbappe is expected to do on the pitch.

Know why believe that Madrid will be performing weak this season with the best players they have in the team this season, and Barcelona are improving very well and they are winning there matches in the competition. Lucas is not doing very well as carvaja is doing in madrid, we miss him because madrid defends is poor too because all the goals is from defends they didn't coordinate very well, this is a big shame for madrid players and the fans. Madrid loses at home and is not just a one goal lead, Ancelotti need to do something before is too late.

Valencia match wouldn't be coming now, it's going to be played sometime maybe next year, because Real Madrid will be playing against Osasuna and a Valencia is going to be playing against Español. As long as Champions League, Europa, and others are still in played, it will be pending but I'm sure that once they are done with them before the knockout stage, other matches that has been skipped, not only Valencia will all be played so they can balance everything.

I still don't understand Real Madrid at this point, Anceloti seems to be having courage about his boys but the more I look at them, they don't look good, the midfielders are not communicating with the forward, that's the main thing and I think they weren't prepared very well for the departure of Tony Kroos, nobody can do his playmaking like he has done for that club, until Anceloti figure it out before things can sit well for them.

It's all caused by Mbappé, who is being so clueless as a number 9. In the game against Milan, we saw moments where Mbappé didn't make runs as a striker. Instead, it was Bellingham, a number 10, who often did this. Also, Real Madrid's coach, Ancelotti, made it worse with his old-school mindset. He didn't subbed in Endrick and Arda Güler in that game. I don’t see any reason not to play Arda and Endrick as subs. These young talents deserve more minutes in the important matches.

And talking about Barcelona, they value their young players much more than Madrid.

Hopefully, Real Madrid will value the young players more.

Losing key players from Real Madrid's game is very noticeable for their game, and it is something that makes them have to swallow a bitter pill repeatedly. Losing badly to Barcelona and having to feel defeat from Ac Milan in the Champions League match that they just finished.
I think they will be able to do well, but some players who have been prepared in the midfield seem to have not found their best game, so Real Madrid must experience an unpleasant situation.
The opportunity for young players is not the only reason why they cannot show something better. Because almost in every position their performance is now less than optimal.

It is clear that something is wrong with the Real Madrid attacks and it became obvious when Kylian Mbappe came to the club. There has been some level of disorganization with both Vinicius Junior and the French player scrambling or competing for goals.

Paulo Fonseca understood the Real Madrid team that was why he made four changes in the team that defeated Monza on Saturday. Real performance is declining because AC Milan was able to match their power. Great game for Malick Thiaw, Alvaro Morata and Tijjani Reijnders as they all scored for the Rossoneris. It was more painful for Madrid since they lost at home in Santiago Bernabeu. Barcelona will still enjoy the top position even if Real wins its outstanding game

Barcelona this season has shown a very solid performance and they seem to be more organised and consistent than last season, Xavi has previously found a very good team framework and Hansi flick was able to take advantage of it by applying the right formula to maximise Barcelona potential this season, the distance left by Madrid at the moment is very far, but I think Madrid still have a chance to catch them  on the condition that Madrid can perform consistently and hope that Barcelona loses their 3 matches, currently Barcelona is ahead of Madrid by 9 points, but at least Madrid still has 1 postponed match which may be able to be a difference for them in the future, the postponed match must be done in response to the storm that occurred in Valencia but indeed if Madrid can cut the point gap then it is likely that the competition will be even tighter at this time,  for now I think Madrid must be able to maintain their consistency and minimize the loss of points if they still want to compete with Barcelona in la liga.

The gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid may widen further because Real Madrid is currently not in its best form. Mathematically, the gap between the two is only 6 points (if Real Madrid is able to beat Valencia in the postponed match), but if Valencia manages to steal points in that match, it is certain that Real Madrid will find it increasingly difficult to catch up with Barcelona.
Conceded 7 goals in two consecutive games is a step backwards for Real Madrid, their front line is also not as productive as last season, they seem confused when they get a chance. The problems faced by Real Madrid are very serious, Ancelotti must immediately resolve the problem to put pressure on Barcelona who are enjoying the pleasure of being at the top of the standings.

Barcelona won 33 points with 12 matches they played while Real Madrid won 24 points with 11 matches so the 9 point advantage is because Real Madrid has not played the 12th match if Madrid has played it the distance between Real and Barcelona is not too far and can still be caught up but yes I have to admit Barcelona looks very tough this season and it seems they want to make up for last season's mistakes which did not appear optimally in La Liga.
It is very unfortunate that Real Madrid's 12th match had to be postponed, so that Barcelona is more confident at the top of the standings with a fairly large distance.

In addition to Real Madrid's front line which is no longer functioning optimally this season, Real Madrid's young players are also not often relied on in every important match so that they also cannot make better developments in the current Real Madrid squad. And currently Barcelona continues to make progress through their game in any match until they are able to create an extraordinary distance with Real Madrid in La Liga this season.

Honestly, 9 points is a big gap and any Real Madrid fan that's yet to understand that is just being sentimental, I'm not really happy about Madrid's decline cause they're the team I love in the Spanish Laliga and I hope they get back on track, the good thing is that they've got an outstanding match with Valencia which they could take advantage of to close the gap, winning that match is very compulsory if they really want to close the gap between them and Barcelona. At this point an average Madrid fan would be hoping that Barca's form decline for their team to cover up, well it's the normal expectation of every fan that their rivals would decline in form but I think they should hope on their team getting better cause Barcelona this season, is getting very tougher by each matches and with the presence of Hansi Flick, I think they'll keep improving rather than decline in form. Ancelotti needs to take advantage of the January window and sign one or two players that would help Madrid improve else they might end up not being able to defend their trophy.

I think Your bet went wrong because you didn't see the opposing team which was Milan. I don't think any team is stronger than Milan. Although Real Madrid has the best record and performance but not more than Milan. Although Real Madrid has lost two matches in few matches but Real Madrid has also drawn one match.  Milan have lost 4 matches in a few matches but still they are heavy on Real Madrid. Real Madrid can look at his performance in which he scored against Milan. But Milan scored 3 goals. There was also pressure from Milan, due to which Real Madrid could not score more goals, Milan won the match with a brilliant performance. Just people like us think they are playing on home ground. But there is pressure on them due to which they also lose.
