After Barça's 4-0, Milan's 1-3 at Bernabéu, Real Madrid's dominance in both Spain and Europe is being questioned. The crisis cabinet is being set in motion.
Real Madrid has only been able to score against Milan from the penalty spot. They have conceded three goals, although it could have been five or six.
Barça and Flick portrayed Ancelotti's Real Madrid, which is already nine points behind with a game in hand. As for Europe, the champions are not up to par. Not against Stuttgart, not against Lille, not against Borussia Dortmund and not today against Milan.
Florentino is Very Worried
The victories over the two German rivals covered up many shortcomings. The same shortcomings are now being shown by the team, except that they are also losing. Resorting to heroics to win is tantamount to admitting that things have been done wrong before.
Florentino Pérez is very worried. This wasn't what he expected after signing Kylian Mbappé.
This Real Madrid, with Mbappé, is worse than last year's. Mbappé came to be the cherry on top of a champion and invincible team. With him, Real Madrid is more vulnerable than ever.
Bellingham Neither Scores nor Assists
And the Bellingham issue remains pending. He neither scores, nor assists, nor imposes his law in the center of the field. What's happening to Bellingham?
To top it all off, Vinícius has done everything wrong. Nervous and more erratic than ever, he was shown a yellow card for protesting. Is the Ballon d'Or that he didn't win on Monday in Paris to blame?
This Real Madrid-Milan game left many people with a lot of questions. Lucas Vázquez confirms that he is not ready to replace Carvajal and that it shouldn't be noticed. Militão hasn't returned to his former self.
Tchouaméni is not a player for Real Madrid. Camavinga is going from strength to strength. Modric can't be the solution.
Bernabéu Misses Joselu
Bellingham is not out of mediocrity. As for Mbappé... Mbappé reminds us in every game he plays how good Joselu was.
The crisis cabinet has been set in motion. Florentino Pérez wants Ancelotti to explain what has ceased to be an accident and has become a full-blown crisis.
The Italian coach is the one who's singled out, in the same way that praise is directed at him when he wins. This is not the Real Madrid that the fans want.
Florentino will not tolerate any more games like today's. 9 goals conceded in the last three games played at Bernabéu.
Ancelotti has credibility and no one in charge is considering his dismissal right now. But if things don't improve and the image of the team doesn't change radically, the shadow of Álvaro Arbeloa could extend, overshadow Ancelotti and lead to his dismissal.
After transfer Mbappé, Florentino will not accept a season worse than the previous one without him (La Liga, Champions League and Spanish Super Cup). Arbeloa, meanwhile, is waiting for the call.
