[Real madrid is not longer the same team we know. It's really a shame to the great team playing like a small and disorganised team. I don't care whether they win or not but this is certainly one of the worst game I have witnessed them playing in a while. Imagine Real Madrid struggling against a team like Alves, what are we expecting when they face a much stronger team. With the way I noticed how they play with lack of spirit and desire to win, I don't think doing a comeback against Arsenal is achievable.

Overall, Real Madrid's performance this season has indeed declined quite a bit. And what is most often seen is their mentality, it is clearly visible especially when the late game is almost over. In previous seasons, Real Madrid often surprised their opponents and made them unable to stay calm at all if the final whistle had not been blown, because they often made epic comebacks and scored goals in the late minutes. But this season? That is quite rare.

And in this match against Alaves too, they almost lost, fortunately Camavinga had scored 1 goal before the red card on Mbappe occurred, so their condition could maintain the leading situation until the end.

I don't understand what happened to Real Madrid this season, Mbappe's arrival did not strengthen their performance but instead made Real Madrid decline, last season Madrid was able to win 2 titles at once, namely La Liga and UCL, will Real Madrid end the season without a trophy this season? This of course makes Real Madrid's reputation decline since Mbappe's arrival and I think their coach Ancelotti has not found a formation that suits their current squad.

The opposite has happened to PSG since Mbappe left, PSG has become stronger and looks like they will qualify for the semifinals if in the second leg PSG increasing the aggregate or getting a draw would be enough to take them through to the next round.
I think Mbappe is a bit unlucky this season if his former club is able to reach the semifinals/finals while his own club loses in the quarterfinals.
