Real Madrid are going through a tumultuous period after a crushing 5-2 defeat against FC Barcelona in the European Super Cup final, a setback which highlighted worrying weaknesses. While the club is full of offensive talent with Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Jr., and Rodrygo, not to mention Brahim Diaz or Arda Güler, coach Carlo Ancelotti seems to be facing a major tactical headache.
Ancelotti does not see the four stars together
According to Real Madrid behind-the-scenes journalist Edu Aguirre, Ancelotti is “very concerned” about the current situation and his team’s performance. He still would not have found a clear answer to how to integrate these four stars into a balanced and efficient system. To the point of making a radical decision? “He doubts the relevance of aligning four attackers together,” reports Aguirre in El Chiringuito.
The need for balance between attack and defense, combined with the tactical demands of big matches, could lead Ancelotti to sacrifice one of his stars to stabilize the team. If Vinícius and Mbappé seem untouchable, Rodrygo, often criticized for his irregularity, could be the one who pays the price. Bellingham, for his part, plays in a hybrid role and remains crucial in the construction of Madrid’s game. This choice could inevitably redefine Real Madrid’s season and cause tension in a locker room full of egos. One thing is certain: Ancelotti is under pressure and must quickly find a solution.
