Can you imagine it? This season's Spanish national derby has become a completely one-sided game, Barcelona plays Real Madrid, that is, "chopping melons and vegetables" is as simple as "chopping melons and vegetables", even if there is one less player, Barcelona can score 5 goals to beat Real Madrid.
In the final of the Spanish Super Cup, Barcelona played one less player, but still defeated Real Madrid 5-2 to win the championship. Coupled with the first leg of La Liga this season, Barcelona swept Real Madrid 4-0 away. Barcelona have beaten Real Madrid twice this season, scoring nine goals and conceding two, leading 9-2.
Last season, Real Madrid not only won the La Liga + Champions League double, but also beat Barcelona three times in the season, which was the first time in the history of the Spanish national derby that Real Madrid beat Barcelona three times in a season in 88 years.
So the question is, Real Madrid has gone from three kills to Barcelona last season to two kills by Barcelona this season, where is the problem of Real Madrid's weakening? Some people say it's Mbappe, but in the final of the Spanish Super Cup, Mbappe went from 8 offsides in the first national derby to breaking the deadlock on the field in one go, and the world striker was infinitely close to being the best version of himself, but Real Madrid still lost 2-5 to Barcelona, what is the reason?
In fact, the problem is very simple, Real Madrid's lineup is seriously unreasonable and top-heavy. Real Madrid's attacking quartet (Mbappe + Vinicius + Rodrygo + BellinghamThe best position is on the left side, and Bellingham, as a midfielder, always likes to attack forward, resulting in a serious lack of creativity in the Real Madrid midfield without Kroos. There are also injuries at the back, and Carvajal is one of the most overlooked Real Madrid players by fans and the media. There is also Real Madrid to buy strikers but not to buy defenders, and it is not a matter to keep Tchouameni as a central defender. Real Madrid from last season's three kills to Barcelona this season to this season's double killing, not Ancelotti's fault, but Florentino's pot, the team's reinforcements do not follow the coach's lineup to play, Real Madrid's top management only wants to pile up forwards. Endrick can't play yet, the back line has been in a shortage of central defenders for a long time, Real Madrid needs to sign new defenders in the winter window, and there are piles of forwards, you can choose to cash out one, what do you think?
