Real Madrid attack is still lacking behind, they need to do more in that area to create more threats and utilize chances. While Mbappe got on the scoresheet, he should have scored more if his short were more powerful.

Agree. Real Madrid attackers made many opportunities, but they couldn't make an effective attack. This is about the accuracy of passes and shots. Since Bellingham is injured, there is no someone who controls the midfield line. Also, Camavinga seems better to put on the position of Tchouaméni. I just hope the trio Valverde - Bellingam - Camavinga to be the main midfielders in Real Madrid this season. Put these 3 players in the midfield line seems to increase the accuracy of passes to Mbappe.

By the way, I'm a bit confused that Xabi only put Rodrygo in the bench and he didn't give him the chance to play. I'm sure Rodrygo is still the best option for the right winger. It just makes no sense to choose Brahim Díaz over Rodrygo. TBH, I don't understand about Xabi's tactics, it looks not quite convincing for me.

The Real Madrid defense was really better and Eder Militao and Dean Huijsen did well even in improving their attacking prowess with fine shots in the first half. The attack still lacks the rhyme to be more deadly looking at the game tonight.

Dean Huijsen performance always great, not sure with Eder Militao. As long as Dean Huijsen doesn't get injured, Real Madrid defense looks to be stronger. However, I think it will be better to use duo Rudiger-Huijsen or Asencio-Huijsen. Militao performance is often inconsistent after he got injured for a long time.
