With just two victories in their first six games, Real Madrid is in grave danger of missing out on the top eight in the Champions League group stage. The team's shortcomings in the redesigned UEFA Champions League were brought to light by their 2-0 loss to Liverpool at Anfield earlier this week, with Kylian Mbappe taking the brunt of the criticism.
In the meantime, Carlo Ancelotti has also faced criticism, with some speculations that he may be facing termination. The Italian coach, though, seems to have complete faith in his team in spite of these rumors. However, despite being under fire once more, Carlo Ancelotti has delivered a message of confidence. After defeating Osasuna and Leganes, but wednesday's loss to Liverpool has left the Italian under scrutiny once more following a lackluster show.
Real Madrid unsteady at the moment
Most of the time, Los Blancos settle into their springtime form, but if they do have a successful run, Ancelotti and Real Madrid will have to make sure they are ready to score. At the moment, Real Madrid appears as an unsteady squad that finds it difficult to integrate Kylian Mbappe into their scheme of things. Ironically, it's turning out that the player who has been the team's top target for years is the hardest to integrate.
Despite defeats by Lille, AC Milan, and Liverpool, as well as the persistent sense that the club has not yet achieved the proper balance this season, Ancelotti leads his team to yet another Champions League final. But it's not the first time Real Madrid has made it through the preliminary stages of Europe's top competition before winning the championship.
