Real Madrid suffered a significant setback by losing 0-2 against Liverpool in the fifth matchday of the UEFA Champions League group stage. This result not only leaves the team in a delicate position to advance but also exposes three key figures in the squad: Carlo Ancelotti, Kylian Mbappé, and Ferland Mendy.
-Carlo Ancelotti: Carlo Ancelotti has been harshly criticized for his tactical approach, outplayed by Arne Slot, whose Liverpool dominated the match from start to finish. The white team showed few attacking ideas and serious defensive flaws. Additionally, the changes made by the Italian coach failed to reverse the momentum, leaving the impression of a team without answers against the opponent's strength.
Mbappé continues to struggle at Real Madrid
-Kylian Mbappé: Kylian Mbappé, the star signing, also did not escape scrutiny. His performance was well below expectations, with a missed penalty at a critical moment that could have altered the course of the game. His impact on the team remains questionable, especially in high-caliber matches like this one.
-Ferland Mendy: On the other hand, Ferland Mendy continues to deliver disappointing performances. His early exit from the match and lack of defensive solidity raise the possibility of Fran García taking the starting role, particularly considering García's better recent performances.
With only three matchdays left in the group stage, Real Madrid needs an immediate reaction to stay alive in the Champions League. Meanwhile, the pressure falls on Ancelotti and his players, who must demonstrate they have what it takes to overcome this crisis and regain the fans' confidence.
