The Italian coach has made changes to the lineup during several matches, but Wednesday’s match was a big warning.<\/p>\n
Real Madrid played their second Champions League match against Lille, where they were unable to avoid defeat (1-0), their first this season, and the French team scored their goal from a penalty kick before the end of the first half, which hindered the attempts of Carlo Ancelotti’s men to find a loophole to score at least an equalizer.
\nAccording to information from the Spanish newspaper “Defensa Central”, Real Madrid failed to impose their style of play, and things were made worse by conceding a goal just before the break.<\/p>\n
This match is considered one of Real Madrid’s worst matches this season, and it is also their first defeat in the Champions League since April 2023.
\nAmong the players who did not perform as expected was Ferland Mendy, who was replaced after the break by Ferran Garcia, who showed more influence in the attacking side, despite his inability to cope with the chaos caused by the match.<\/p>\n
Mendy, who is considered one of the best players in his defensive position, has had a poor start to the season, which has prompted Ancelotti to substitute him on several occasions. Wednesday’s match was a clear example of his failure to achieve the expected level.
\nThe newspaper added that the Italian coach is angry with the French player and has decided to exclude him from Real Madrid’s starting lineup in the upcoming matches until he returns to his level.<\/p>\n
Mendy’s situation is becoming more important, especially after Real Madrid renewed his contract until 2027, as his contract was due to expire next year.
\nAt the same time, the club is monitoring Concha Espina Alphonso Davies, who could become a free agent in 2025 if he does not renew with Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
