Times are tough at Real Madrid. Despite two very good last matches in La Liga with big successes against Osasuna (4-0) and Leganés (3-0), Carlo Ancelotti's gang was brought back to Earth on Wednesday evening against Liverpool. Outclassed in all areas, it logically lost with a score of two goals to zero and could even have sunk even more without a great Thibaut Courtois. It is therefore time for doubts again in the Spanish capital. Not ideal at a time when a frightening calendar is emerging.
7 matches in 21 days, 5 consecutive away!
As Marca reminds us, the Merengue will now play seven matches in the space of 21 days. Worse, they will string together five outside. First of all, they will host Getafe this Sunday before traveling next Wednesday (9 p.m.) to Bilbao and three days later to Girona (9 p.m.). After this trip to Catalonia, it is to Bergamo that the Madrid players will go to challenge Atalanta in the Champions League. It is then on the lawn of Rayo Vallecano that Real will visit before flying to Qatar to play the final of the Intercontinental Club Cup. This marathon will end on December 22 with the reception in Seville. Suffice it to say that December is going to be busy for Real. There is no doubt that Ancelotti will hope for the return of certain injured people…
