I also will not deny that this season Real Madrid will face many problems especially Ancelotti who is required to be able to solve his attacking combination. Before the match started I was enthusiastic because the opponent was Las Palmas but eh it turned out that Madrid's game was very boring, having difficulty in finishing. Several opportunities were wasted because when they entered the penalty box Mbappe, Vinicius, and Rodrygo seemed to lose their way and did not know where to pass.
Madrid actually played by showing all their abilities, but unfortunately the Madrid players experienced a deadlock in terms of scoring goals. even the goal they were able to reply from the penalty spot, even though they should have been able to break through the home team. but there were many opportunities they had, 25 total shots they fired, 8 of which were on target and 5 big opportunities. so too with Mbappe, he tried to fire a hard shot outside the penalty box, unfortunately he was not able to break through the goal guarded by Cillessen. in fact, the Las Panas goalkeeper made 7 saves. uniquely, the pattern applied by the home team was not a defensive tactic. they used a 4-1-4-1 pattern, some of their players played quite impressively. in the Madrid camp, Diaz was unable to play his role with maximum performance which in the end Rodrygo replaced him. the entry of Arda Guller was unable to bring Madrid to full points, even Madrid almost lost if the goal created by Las Pamas was not trapped by the option. well, Don Carlo has implemented a similar system twice, but the results are not so satisfying. maybe he should try another pattern, for example a duo striker duo in the front line. thus, Mbappe can comb his playing style that is not just waiting for a pass if he is only relied on as a single striker. certainly, Ancelotti has homework to evaluate his team.
a match that surprised all Madrid fans. Las Palmas played amazingly with so much pressure they got from Madrid. even when they scored early, it was really surprising.
Madrid at the beginning of the season really had a hard time when facing a team that last season fought very hard not to be relegated. Madrid's opening match this season against Mallorca also ended in a draw. and now with Las Palmas.
a lot of work needs to be done immediately. if not maybe this season Barca will be very comfortable to win the trophy.
