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.
People often forget that football is a team effort and it takes all sides of the team to work. When a team performs well the credit doesn't just go to one person alone, it's shared between the players, coach and the entire staff. Similarly when a team underperforms, the responsibility should also be shared. Real Madrid may be experiencing some difficulties at the moment but it would be unfair to totally blame Mbappe for their underwhelming performances. Football is a team game and the coach also plays a critical role in the team's successes and failures. Carlo ancelotti must access the squad's weakness and use the next transfer window to bring in quality players that will strengthen the team.
