Real Madrid problem is from the midfield, they don't have who to be in charge of the midfield and they allowed Atalanta to be in control of the midfield. This is where Kross will be missed because assuming he is still in Real Madrid, he will do the job professionally. However, I know that Ancelotti must have seen he laxity and will make substitutes that will improve their performance and change the game to the orb favor on the second half. Most games that Real Madrid won last season, they scored in the second half and the first half for Ancelotti is for studing his opponent weaknesses.
I already know that Real Madrid midfield will face challenges now that Toni Kroos has left because he was basically controlling the midfield all through his time at Real Madrid but this is the time when he will be remembered by the club because he was equivalent to a one man duty in the midfield.
They are already in the second half and Real Madrid was able to capture 2 goals yet after the central midfielder F. Valverde scored in the 59 minutes and the goal was assisted by Vinicius Jr and the Almighty Kylian Mbappé scored the second goal in the 68 minutes, all thanks to Jude Bellingham who provided the assist for Mbappé, the game is becoming more interesting in this second half unlike the first half.
