Real Madrid are a really special team... Let's take the last season as an example. They weren't in their best shape right? But what happened? They still managed to win the Champions League title.  Grin

This wasn't because of luck. You can't go all that way to the end only thanks to being lucky. We are talking about one of the biggest European tournaments. This season they are going even worse here. Seeing them at the 24th position can make people think whether they will say goodbye early. But I don't think so. They have been struggling with injuries too. I believe we will still see the same competitive Real Madrid sooner or later.
Yeah they were struggling from the group stage.

Few match ended dramatic because they won by comeback in the last minutes, they even an underdog in final match, really crazy to follow how Real Madrid can become a champion.

I think Ancelotti will take a big move, which is put Mbappe on bench.
Having Mbappe means that you do not put him on the bench, even if he plays badly. The real talent a coach could have is to make sure he fixes whatever is the problem and then end up getting him to play better. Not like he has been a bad player ever, he has been a great player ever since he started and that is why we should be considering this to be not an issue that has been around for a long time, he is a great player and just having a bad season so far and they need to find whatever is the issue.

On the long run, putting him on the bench doesn't really solve anything, it would just hurt them. Not like this is the first time he is playing with another great left wing, he played with Neymar before and he was left wing too, so this isn't the first time he is facing this issue. They need to also remember that they still have a chance to win both la liga and UCL this season, not saying they will, but mathematically it's possible for them to win both of those so far.
High expectations on player do contribute to players poor performance when they first got into any team, and that's definitely the case here with Mbappe, if you could recall when the transfer deal was sealed,  Mbappe was still in his best form until he got to Madrid now, he isn't the real Mbappe that we used to know,  sometimes could be how manager is featuring the player or maybe the player trying to gain confidence in his new team to a having a bad season.
