Last season too we saw Madrid win all their Champions League group stage matches to qualify for the next round. But this season, Madrid's performance is not as good as expected. Real Madrid have lost two of their first four matches. And right now Real Madrid is in 17th position in the points table. There is no doubt that Real Madrid are very experienced on the Champions League platform. However, Real Madrid is not able to perform well this season.
It was unthinkable that Real Madrid would perform so poorly against AC Milan. Real Madrid defenders are not able to play well. At the same time the attacking players are not able to score goals despite attacking a lot. I would say Ancelotti should change his match tactics.
My friends and I often talk about the Real Madrid squad during work breaks. And we have almost the same thought, namely that Real Madrid's balance has been reduced after the arrival of Mbappe. Not because Mbappe is bad. But it seems like several players in the Real Madrid squad don't want to lose out on competing with Mbappe there. Which makes Real Madrid team collaboration not as good as usual. The warm atmosphere in the squad faded a little. Ancelotti is an experienced coach and he might be able to bring this squad back to life at some point. But the most important thing is that all the players at this club must return to normal, namely that they work together well and build a good balance again. I hope everything can be resolved soon there. And yes, the defeat by AC Milan was truly unexpected. Moreover, with a quite striking score, namely 1-3.
