Yes, Real Madrid played very badly this season, especially in the back line after several key players were injured. I'm not highlighting the Midfielders and Strikers, they are still able to create opportunities and turn them into goals. Madrid's weak point lies in the back line, they have conceded 11 goals in their last 4 games in all competitions, including when they were humiliated by Arsenal in the UCL quarter-finals.
If fatigue is the reason for Real Madrid declining performance, they will be in danger of losing the title that could be won in the rest of the season.
They only bad in this match, Real Madrid can reach to 2rd position even they were bad in the beginning is proving if they already improved. Courtois made many crucial saves in the first half, but the first two goals almost hard to saves, the free kicks is really on point.
It's rare to see Arteta not sign wrong player, Rice is really worth for such amount.
On the other match, Inter pull upsets against Bayern Munich, very surprising results today.
Having 3 goals behind is really hard task, I don't really think Real Madrid will comeback.
