Well, yeah, it turns out that both Real Madrid and Barcelona experienced it worse. The number of goals they conceded was 39 and 38, which is much more than Atletico Madrid who only conceded 30 goals and also Athletic Club who only conceded 26 goals. So, defense is indeed homework for both clubs.
This will be a priority next season because conceding more goals is not ideal because as far as we can see the defense of both teams is not going well.
Real Madrid itself has had problems in defense since the beginning of the season because a number of players they have are injured so it is difficult for Ancelloti to create a solid defense system this season.
Yes, it indicates that the back line of a club is quite weak. And this is what is dangerous, because it has been proven, when the front line is very strong but fragile at the back, then it is unbalanced and has the potential to experience defeat.
Reportedly, Xabi wants to release some players to be replaced with stronger ones, especially with the presence of several new, stronger defenders.
Some of them are:
- Garcia
- Mendy
- Vallejo
Arnold is a defender who fits Real Madrid's criteria, and Huijsen is also one of the valuable assets for RMA's future.
Oh yeah, it seems that Xabi also wants a midfielder from Stuttgart, it is reported that Angelo Stiller is one of Xabi's targets to be included in Real Madrid.
But, will this really match Real Madrid and La Liga conditions?
