Ancelotti certainly understands the depth of his squad, including the potential of his second-string players. However, due to the demands of the situation that requires him to win every match, sometimes he does not have many options to rotate players. Overall, Ancelotti has done his job well, and he has also given his players a fair chance. The tight match schedule is the main challenge at the moment, the injury factor adds to the difficulty of the situation, besides Mbappe adaptation process is not going as fast as expected, making Real Madrid look a little unstable this season.
Real Madrid are in a disadvantageous position ahead of their clash with Liverpool at Anfield. Injuries to several key players have left Ancelotti scrambling to find a way to fill the void, and although they have just managed to pick up a positive result after beating Osasuna, there is no guarantee they can take home the three points from Anfield as Liverpool are in top form. The pressure is clearly on Real Madrid, they are required to win to improve their position in the standings, but the problem is that Liverpool are not an easy team to beat, especially since Arne Slot wants to extend his winning record to five consecutive matches in the UCL.
