Real Madrid were really in trouble yesterday.
Because their way of play was really problematic. They were quite weak at defending against Leipzig in the first place. They were just lucky that Leipzig wasted many of them so generously. I can't even imagine the potential result if they faced a much more capable opponent.
I saw no positive from real madrid yesterday. What players did only to keep passing the ball. I could not really understand why real madrid played so awfully at home. That never happens since in the group stage. Real madrid played like it was not real madrid.
I saw different clubs playing against Liepzig. Probably ancellotti prepared something for us. The way real madrid played the game was not even structured. I'm glad to see how Vini was helping Madrid with his idea to move right when he was guarded by Leipzig's LB.
Madrid might be out of UCL if Vini did not score in that game. This is not the usual standard Real Madrid often shows. I wonder why the standard has been decreasing a lot. Real Madrid played so average in that game.
The interesting part is Real Madrid played worse than the time they didn't have Bellingham. You know that he was injured in the time of the first leg but they still won that match. I can't say their game was impressive there either though.
If they continue to play the same I won't be very positive about their title chance.
You forget that if Madrid had Bellingham in their starting lineup. Real Madrid makes no changes throughout the game against Leipzig. The squad must go thorugh some significant adjustments. The attacking line was not particularly aggressive.
Ancellotti must urge all of his players to do better in the upcoming round. It's because Madrid will face so many harder opponents who can beat them at any time. If Madrid continues to play as it did against Leipzig, it will not even be better than PSG.
The club shall be evaluated to know which thing has become the main problem for Real Madrid. As a bettor fan, I am truly disappointed with the result.
