Real Madrid Faces Internal Struggles After Consecutive Losses

Real Madrid is facing a challenging period marked by consecutive defeats and internal struggles. The team recently suffered a 3-1 defeat to AC Milan in the Champions League, following a 4-0 loss to Barcelona, highlighting defensive frailties and lack of organization. A significant issue is Kylian Mbappé's dissatisfaction with his position as a central striker, preferring the left wing, which is occupied by Vinícius Júnior, causing tension and tactical imbalance. Critics, including Thierry Henry, have pointed out Mbappé's struggle to adapt and his impact on team dynamics. Furthermore, the team is missing key defensive players, and the absence of retired midfielder Toni Kroos is felt in their midfield balance. Coach Carlo Ancelotti acknowledges the need for better teamwork and defensive solidity to overcome the current slump.
