[Saba Sports News] As champions of La Liga and the Champions League last season, Real Madrid has a pedigree that no one can match. After some ups and downs in the early part of the season, Real Madrid have turned the corner. Recently, they have won three straight matches in La Liga and the Champions League. However, coach Carlo Ancelotti has been unable to address Kylian Mbappe’s lack of fit with the rest of his strikers.

The most expensive player in Europe today, Mbappe has fallen far short of expectations at Real Madrid. In 13 games for Real Madrid, he has scored only seven goals and added two assists, which is a middling figure.
Mbappe’s arrival also had an impact on Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo. The performances of the “Brazilian twins” are down from last season, with Rodrigo in particular scoring just three goals in 13 games. Recently, it has been suggested that Rodrigo may consider a move if the right offer comes along. There has also been a marked dip in the form of England superstar Jude Bellingham, who was an outstanding England midfielder last season and has now failed to score in 10 consecutive matches.
