Real Madrid are gradually putting themselves in a tight corner, and it will be a difficult season for them if their results keeps going this way. I was thinking that after their draw with Marllorca, it was expected that real Madrid will run a winning streak, but unfortunately they fell again and settle for a draw twice now in the league. I think the absence of Jude Bellingham is currently affecting the team. He is one of their top performing players. But Carlos Ancelloti as an experienced manager should know how to turn the situation around, and get the results going their way. As for Mbappe, I think he is still settling in the team and league, I won't blame him if his performance ain't really going as expected. Some players are like that, it take them time to settle in a new environment.
Real Madrid's second match win in La Liga looked like they would be back on a winning streak. But the hosts are stifling the big teams at home in La Liga, with Real Madrid's performances in the first and third matches telling. It is natural that Bellingham will have an impact without an important player in the team, but the new players will also need time to adapt to the environment and continue in the matches. Real Madrid conceded an early goal and were desperate to repay, with Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior equalizing from the penalty after 68 minutes. The league has just started, but I think Real will recover very quickly.
Bellingham, Camavinga and David Alaba were absent from the match due to injuries. And all three are very important players in Madrid's squad. Modrich played as a substitute for Bellingham in this match. Modrich's performance was not bad. But I will say I missed Toni Kroos in this match. If Toni Kross was in the squad, maybe we would have got a more composed performance from Madrid. Madrid could attack a lot but they missed a lot of chances. We are yet to see a good performance from Mbappe, especially in the center of attack.
Many gamblers lost money betting on Real Madrid to win. Real Madrid failed to win the first match against Mallorca. However, the team performed well in the second match. So our assumption was that since Las Palmas is not a strong team, Madrid will continue their winning streak. But Real Madrid players failed to play well against Las Palmas. Real Madrid won only one of the 3 matches.
