Real Madrid will need to use their players to the maximum as they aim to win both the Champions League and the Spanish league. Some injuries make their job difficult. Kroos' departure from the team at the beginning of the year already had a negative impact on them. He will no longer be the maestro of Real Madrid as he has retired. Madrid's midfield still feels his absence. That's why they aim to use every player in the best way possible and become champions in both tournaments.
Basically, Real Madrid's performance was not bad at the start of this season, it's just that the final results in several matches did not match what all their fans expected. Every fan expects Real Madrid to win all matches flawlessly, but they seem to forget that in football this is almost impossible for one team. Losing, drawing and winning are all parts of the game where every team wants the same at the end of the game, so expecting one team to win all the games throughout the season is very unreasonable.The performance of the defensive players is good, as are the midfielders and strikers, but the outcome of the match really depends on the response of the opposing team, who during the match also don't want to lose. Real Madrid are a good team and are favorites to retain the La Liga title, but to say they are the only ones who can do it this season would be unfair.

Real Madrid had a real scare towards the end of this match. Yes, Los Blancos have started the match very well. Lucas Vázquez has been able to score before the first minute of the match had finished. Carlo Ancelotti had a really good plan and his side have also played attacking football. And it was really incredible to see Vazquez, Mbappé and Rodrigo score[[[[ one goal each.
However, towards the end of the match, they were not doing well defensively. So, the result is Kylian Mbappé out for several weeks because picked up a thigh injury.
Ultimately the opponent was able to score 2 very quick goals. After seeing Kylian Mbappé's condition I actually thought that Real Madrid might have to lose two points from this match, luckily that did not happen.
The performance of the defensive players is good
However, for some reason, I think the defense from Carlo Ancelotti's side has not been the best so far in this season. Ancelotti will have to focus on improving in the defense if he wants to successfully defend the La Liga title.
