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.
It is far beyond our expectations to see Real Madrid only having a draw when facing a team that is actually not that strong like Las Palmas. Las Palmas played quite confidently in front of their supporters but they also always almost conceded in these matches. Unfortunately, Real Madrid always fail to take advantage of every opportunity they have. Like Mbappe, who actually had a good chance in the first few minutes if he was confident enough to run faster. But he failed. And after that, Alberto Moleiro actually got a quite difficult opportunity in front of the Real Madrid goal, but the Las Palmas player actually used it well and scored a goal. What I saw from Mbappe in that match, I think this player has not yet found his complete confidence again. He seemed to still be hesitant in dribbling the ball. So he often failed to get past opposing players. And sometimes he is still the same, namely forcing himself from a difficult position. And I was actually quite amazed by Las Palmas' game. Who always manages to outwit the Real Madrid defense and always almost scores another goal. Overall Real Madrid is still playing well. But the problem is that Ancelotti still doesn't seem to have found a suitable formation for their squad this time.
