Ancelotti is trying to increase the experience of the young players in his squad. In this match, Ancelotti has kept Rodrygo, Arda Guller and Endrick in the squad. Although Rodrygo gets a regular place in Madrid's starting XI, Arda Guller and Endrick do not get a chance in Madrid's starting XI. Along with the young players, Ancelotti has kept experienced players like Modrich in the squad in this match.
Madrid did not play very well, but Real Madrid won the match. If Madrid's defense was strong, I would have said Madrid played well. Real Madrid won 3-2 in a misunderstanding. However, it is proven that Madrid has been able to find some talented young players. They will be able to strengthen Madrid's squad in the future.

It was nice to see both of Arda Güler and Endrick on the field.
Ancelotti really doesn't give these young talents much time. I know it is difficult when you have a squad full of star attackers on the front.But still sometimes Ancelotti is just obstinate anyway even when it makes sense to sub them in earlier in league games. When it comes to the game, Real Madrid couldn't get an easy win despite getting 2-0 ahead. I didn't like Arda Güler's performance. He didn't play very offensive this time. He returned back instead of making runs towards the opponent's goal a lot. I wonder whether Ancelotti gave him such role for this game. If it is the case then it is very meaningless considering Arda is much more effective in his natural role.
