Real Madrid lacks team play, there is no player in the midfield to pass, adjust the tempo, establish connections, they all try to get the ball individually and move forward, there is only Modric, he is 40 years old now.
I am very disappointed with Madrid's gameplay today. Madrid is a strong team. There are many talented players in the squad. But the team's performance today was not good at all. Real Madrid had to fight hard to win against a weak team like Alaves. I would say that the overall performance of Alaves' players was better than Real Madrid's. If Alaves had a talented player like Mbappe or Vini in the attack, Alaves would have been able to win this match. However, with such a performance, Madrid has no chance of winning by a large margin against Arsenal.
To be honest, I can't understand why you would be disappointed with Real Madrid's performance today, because as a Real Madrid fan, I haven't seen Real Madrid playing well in the last 4 years. They have been playing with the clear objective of just winning games. It doesn't matter if they score a lot of goals or if they play well. As long as they win, everything is fine. This has been the Real Madrid coach's attitude since he arrived at the club. While Barcelona has been very concerned about playing well.
