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.
You are making it seems like you know the job way better than Anceloti that position Jude Bellingham, Valverde and Tchouameni that are in that position. Anceloti objectives has been achieved and that is securing 2 goals for the game and they are already 88 minutes away from the match, in few minutes everything will be done and I doubt if Atalanta has the capacity and what it takes to equalized this goal at this little time.
Mbape has just recorded its first goal for Real Madrid and again his first appearance for Real Madrid, I think we might we see a ground breaking in the club perhaps that is if he get enough assist from the midfield because I can see that Bellingham is still trying to do the work of Mbape despite been the number 9 for this match. Seems he is not giving up for his Balon D'or ambition.
