Real Madrid is in crisis again as Kylian Mbappe struggles and injuries mount.
Madrid: Real Madrid’s situation has taken a turn for the worse. After Barcelona dropped points, Madrid had a chance to catch up in La Liga. However, a recent loss to Liverpool has left them in a tough spot, possibly out of the top eight. Kylian Mbappe’s poor performance has added to the team’s worries.
Mbappe has only scored two goals in nine matches. Many believe he is struggling because he is not playing in his best position. However, even when he plays on the left, he hasn’t shown much improvement. The club’s main concern is not just Mbappe’s form but also their growing list of injuries.
Fitness coach Antonio Pintus is facing criticism as injuries pile up. In response, the club has reached out to Zinedine Zidane for advice on how to handle the situation with Mbappe. Meanwhile, they are also looking to strengthen their squad by pursuing new players.
Real Madrid recently met with Liverpool to discuss Trent Alexander-Arnold, which is one positive development. However, their interest in Alphonso Davies from Manchester United is causing frustration. Adding to the drama, Davies was recently involved in a drink-driving incident.
In other news, Barcelona celebrated their 125th anniversary without Lionel Messi. They managed to secure a win against Brest, with Robert Lewandowski scoring twice to reach 100 goals for the club. However, Frenkie de Jong’s future remains uncertain as he is not performing well and is facing criticism from fans.
Real Sociedad faced another defeat against Athletic Club, marking their fourth consecutive loss in derby matches. Manager Imanol Alguacil expressed disappointment with his players, while captain Mikel Oyarzabal suggested that the team’s strategy might need to change. Fans are also keeping an eye on rumors surrounding Martin Zubimendi.
James Rodriguez made a comeback to La Liga with Rayo Vallecano but may leave the club soon after limited playing time. Finally, after weeks of speculation about Diego Simeone’s future at Atletico Madrid, President Enrique Cerezo has shown support for him, especially after a recent turnaround in form, aided by his son, Giuliano Simeone.
