Now the problem that needs to be solved is how to patch up the positions left by the core players due to the injuries that continue to hit them. So far, Ancelotti has rarely given opportunities to players who have always warmed the bench, so when the situation in the starting XI is unbalanced, Ancelotti will be confused and the negative effect will greatly affect his team's performance. The season is still long, several players are confirmed to have long-term injuries. Real Madrid need to find a solution to overcome this problem, their best option is to use the January transfer market to find players who can complete the missing Puzzle.
So far, Ancelotti is in no hurry to look for replacements for these players, apparently he expects that he can count on the players he has as a substitute and on the help of those players who remain in the team, and if the right flank of the defense fails, then he will need to look for a replacement. Barcelona decided to act immediately after Ter Stegen's injury, but Szczesny has not played a single game for Barcelona yet, although the goalkeeper position is much more important than the defender position, where other players can back him up. But Ancelotti has not yet solved the problems with the midfield, and is already faced with new difficulties.
