Meanwhile on the aspect of defense, they really need to add new legs to reinforce their backline against the cheap goals they do concede in this season. I want to believe that when Xabi Alonso arrives he would know what right changes is needed to be put in place to bring Madrid back on track for el classico's.
Ancelotti's initial mistake of being overconfident in his squad without thinking about whether it would be the same in the end with no worst-case scenario like injury or something else meant that Madrid were in a bad shape from the start.
From the beginning of last season, I always questioned why a club as big as Madrid only spent money on Endrick because several other players such as Mbappe, Fran Garcia were even free players which made this condition need to be studied further but Ancelotti in several statements said that he was confident in his squad but the problem was that he did not consider the possibility of injury and that problem came even from the beginning where Carvjal and Militao were ACL even now still recovering.
This must be taken into consideration this season if they still want to try to restore honor and trust because honestly the end of this season they were very bad.
