Real Madrid played well. But Real Madrid is still not effective in completing attacks. There are still many missed opportunities. But I think with Xabi we will see a great Real Madrid again. And I am happy that Real Madrid has not experienced any decline in performance at all. In fact, I see positive improvements in their back line.
Juventus played defensively. And we know that this team has a very strong defense. So naturally it was not easy for Real Madrid to score in this match. Mbappe was not in the starting XI. If Mbappe was in the starting XI, Madrid's attacks would have been more intense.
Madrid managed to score one goal. Madrid's young forward Gonzalo Garcia managed to score the only goal of the match. However, I expected a better performance from Vinicius. However, it is true that Madrid's defenders played well in this match. I am waiting to see how Madrid's defenders perform against Dortmund in the next match. Dortmund will not play defensively like Juve
I want to say that Juventus has a pretty strong defense, but in fact when they played in the group stage against Man City, Juventus' defense was destroyed by Pep Guardiola's team with a final score of 5-2.
From what I see right now about Real Madrid, it seems like they are currently having a little problem with their attack line, where even though Real Madrid is filled with the best attackers and midfielders, in several matches they have had difficulty scoring a goal. But fortunately Real Madrid has a striker who can solve this need, Gonzalo Garcia really became a savior for the Los Blancos squad. I think he should have been in the main squad since last season, he performed better than Endrick.
