Real Madrid did control the game from the first minute but struggled in the first half to break the defense of the home side until the dying minutes when Kylian Mbappe broke the deadlock before the break. It was in the second half that the scored the other two goals of the game to claim all three points in week that Barcelona did drop points. Like I said before the game, Real Madrid though have been inconsistent since the start of the season but I strongly believe in the ability of the club manager Carlo Ancelotti to turn things around and help them win one or two major trophies at the end of the current season.
Madrid are not completely in a slump because they are still in the top ranks and Carlo can still restore Madrid's performance if he finds the right tactics with the current players, Mbappe is not completely bad he can create important goals when needed Bellingham can also add a goal in this match so they can work together from now on for their clubs.
I like your view of Real Madrid which is quite positive. Well, hopefully this team will get up soon and prove again that they are a team that will not be down for a long time. They have to prove that they can rise without having to wait a long time. Ancelotti will definitely give everything he can for this team. Because Real Madrid's current position in the Champions League is also quite worrying. So that in the next matches Real Madrid really can't afford to lose or even draw.
And in Laliga I think Real Madrid is still fine. They also have points that are not much different from Barcelona. Moreover, Real Madrid has 1 postponed match that they can take advantage of. So yeah Real Madrid is not that bad in Laliga. What I'm worried about Real Madrid is only their current position in the Champions League.
