When Mbappe joined Real Madrid at the beginning of the season, everyone was so sure that they'd be off to a flying start. I know they did win the super cup but their recent performances have been nothing to write home about especially with the quality of squad they constantly field when they go up against any team.
The UCL is yet to start but I'm pretty sure Real Madrid will go very far this season unless they improve and the team can understood itself because there was a similar situation like this when PSH had Mbappe, Messi abd Neymar on their team. Everyone thought they'd win it that year for sure but it's not always as it seems and Real Madrid is just the signs already. My thesis is wrong only if the Don finds a way to get his team back to strong, consistent winning days.
Even if Real Madrid perform poorly in their domestic competition in any tournament, they are still doing well in the Champions League. Seeing their performances like this, it seems that maybe they only build a team to do well in the Champions League. With the squad they have built this season, they will surely do well in this season's Champions League and they have a great chance of winning La Liga. Last season we saw Real Madrid secure their 15th title. It would not be a surprise if they celebrate a 16th title this season as their team is stronger this season than last season.
Well, I guess we'd have to wait till the UCL competition is in full swing before we can start getting some conclusions. I know that Real Madrid has been the kings of the UCL (I'm a Liverpool fan so I know how many times we have lost to Madrid in the UCL). Hopefully what happened with PSG doesn't get to happen to Madrid otherwise they won't win this time around. The competition is different every year and this season might not be for Real Madrid. It's a good argument though, one I'd love to see how it plays out.
I'm a fan of Madrid because they honour my betslips but we can't deny their current internal struggle.
