Real Madrid is not making the best impression this season and looks like another team, which is very different from the one that won the Champions League last year. Their new signing and superstar, Kylian Mbappé, is not working out and frankly even looks bad in the team.
Ancelotti has mentioned that he is not worried and that they will be in the Champions League final next year, defending their title. The fans are very concerned about the team’s performance and are keeping an eye on what their arch rivals are doing, and it seems they are worried that Barcelona could wake up and dethrone them from La Liga and Europe.

Let’s see the problems that Real Madrid is presenting this season and if they can solve them to be able to defend their trophies, which this year is difficult because all the rivals are at a high level.
Mbappé is not at a good level
The French world champion in 2018, arrived at the Merengue box after two seasons threatening to arrive to Bernabeu. He finally wore the Merengue shirt and things are not going as expected.
He has shown signs of his great talent, but the truth is that he is not performing and is not adapting to the team. His level at the moment is low, and he even seems lost on the court. It is clear that mentally he is not at his best and even seems distrustful.
First, he started playing out of his position, and it was thought that this had him quite unfocused since being the team’s centre forward is not his thing, but he was moved to the left wing, and it has not worked either.
All these movements have destabilized the team, which lost the harmony of last season. They comment several sources within the team, that many players are not so happy with the new roles they have just to accommodate Mbappé and mention that the chemistry with Vini, the most important player of the team, is not the best.
The departure of Kroos
One of the symbols of the team, Toni Kroos, announced his retirement from soccer for this season, which affected the team that did not replace him because it was thought that Valverde in his position was more than enough.
What they did not think was that Valverde and Kroos are two different players. What the German offered was a spectacular order and rhythm for the team, he was an orchestra conductor and everyone played at his rhythm.
It is a reality that nobody in this team can do what Toni Kroos did, and that is taking away a lot of order and ball distribution, obviously, they have to find a replacement or play something else, but the problem for Ancelotti, is that this team is designed to have an organizer like Kroos in midfield.
Valverde is trying to be that man and is sharing offensive responsibilities with Bellingham, but they are still in that tricky adaptation period and that’s why Madrid doesn’t look good.
Ancelotti is working little by little to bring his players to an optimal level and adapt the team to this new era without Kroos, it seems that for the moment it is not working out, but the tournament is long, will he succeed?
