Réal Madrid 2-0
Despite réal Madrid winning this match it wasn’t easy, the first half was just awful! If they played like that against Manchester city or Barcelona or even PSG they will get smoked! It’s unacceptable. The team is still imbalanced but it’s getting better.
Vini and Mbappé are getting along on the pitch and they are building their chemistry which is amazing. Mbappe scored 2 goals today and the first goal was just amazing with a beautiful pass from Valverde. The problem is their defense because their attack is great, the middle field is not organized. And I get it this is a new team because Toni Kroos is not there and now that they have Mbappé in the attack with Rodygo and Vinicius it’s a lot ! Jude Bellingham will need help in the middle field and especially Jude is out sick right now. Rodygo did go back to help the middle fielders, but I mean no one can blame Mbappé for not defending because he’s not that type of player! Now does he defend sometimes ? Yes ! But He’s a goal scorer! He scored a 36 for defending out of 100 last year on his fifa card at PSG and he scored a 46 for defending with France. No one is putting Mbappé in their team as a defender, if you have him on your team it’s to score goals and he did just that today.
I think Carlo Ancelotti needs to have a better starting 11 with less strikers in the attack and more defenders like we get it we have 3 great strikers but what about the defense team? There’s this huge space where the opposite team can really have the space they need to win. Mbappé was the MVP of this match today which was well deserved and I love that vini let him take the penalty because that really helps Mbappé to be more confident! I love it and to be honest I think he should take all the penalties but like the coach said the players can decide amongst themselves who gets to take it. I mean they all great at taking penalties.
now it’s the international break the next game won’t be until 9/15 I am glad that Real Madrid won today because Barcelona scored 7 goals yesterday ! They are in the lead with 12 points and Real Madrid second with 8 points. They needed to win today and now they get 3 points!
