Real Madrid Faces Challenges After Lille Loss

Real Madrid's Arda Guler is reportedly frustrated with coach Carlo Ancelotti's lack of faith in giving him significant playing time, despite his potential and performances. Guler's entourage is growing impatient as he has only played 280 minutes in nine matches this season, primarily in non-critical moments. Meanwhile, Ancelotti is facing criticism after Madrid's recent 1-0 Champions League loss to Lille, which ended their 36-game unbeaten streak. He acknowledged that the team is lacking in intensity and proper ball circulation and emphasized the need for improvement in their upcoming match against Villarreal. Jude Bellingham, who also faced criticism for his performance against Lille, was played in a less influential role, adding to the team's struggles. Ancelotti remains optimistic about their potential to bounce back but insists that all players must elevate their performance levels.
