Madrid were outclassed in midfield and were unable to control the ball well. Modric was dropped a little further back and that gave him a tough task to distribute the ball forward and also block the flow of Liverpool's attack who had good possession in midfield.
Madrid were outclassed in every way in the match, and it will be Ancelotti's job to solve their problems against teams in the Champions League. Will Madrid be like Man City?
If Erik ten Hag was to be Carlo Ancelotti, he would have been dragged and at same time called incompetent by moat of 5hese posters on here. Whenever a squad is not doing well, then the manager is doing something wrong, lots blaming Kylian Mbappe and Co's but don't forget to look at how the manager set his team up. I know he has a couple injured midfielders but props to Liverpool, they're officially the best club in the world.
In the case of Madrid, of course, Ancelotti must be the one who is also blamed for their performance. Of course,e the results were not expected in the Champions League from Ancelotti and the squad. Now he must be quite stressed with the results obtained. The injuries of several players certainly made it quite difficult for him. he was forced to create a strategy that might be difficult for the players on the field to carry out. Now he must see how important it is to give enough playing minutes to each of his players. it is not only a matter of avoiding injured players, but also providing players to be ready to face the game of a stronger team.
