Revolution in Real Madrid's starting XI for Upcoming Games: There are Changes

Carlo Ancelotti could bench Lucas Vázquez and Tchouaméni in the upcoming games

Real Madrid suffered a resounding defeat in the Supercopa against Barça, a team that dominated the Whites throughout the game. Carlo Ancelotti, like the Meringue players, left the stadium visibly affected in terms of morale after losing the title.

"We have to face reality, and the fact is we haven't defended well in the opponent's half or with a low block. They scored the goals very easily, and we haven't worked well either collectively or individually," the Italian initially commented.

"We're sad and disappointed, and with this sadness, we have to go home. That's soccer. Our sadness is shared with our fans; however, there's no choice but to look forward and regain a positive dynamic," he commented.

Many criticisms of Carlo Ancelotti's role

Ancelotti repeated the same line-up as against RCD Mallorca, but the result was not even close. The team appeared very weak, and everything was bad news in a game that could have ended with a more lopsided score.

Real Madrid fans were very critical of some players whose season isn't going well. Lucas Vázquez, Aurélien Tchouaméni, or Ferland Mendy are the names most frequently mentioned. However, Real Madrid supporters also conclude that the person responsible for putting them on the field is Carlo Ancelotti.

The Italian again opted for the French pivot in the center of the defense, instead of putting Raúl Asencio. Additionally, Carlo Ancelotti preferred to keep Lucas Vázquez on the right wing and not put Fede Valverde. His goal was not to lose the Uruguayan in the midfield, but he ended up leaving a corridor for Raphinha on the Galician's flank.

There will be changes in the upcoming matches

Real Madrid's next clash will be in the Cup against Celta de Vigo at the Santiago Bernabéu. The white team, after the tough defeat in the Super Cup, will meet their fans in a match they are obliged to win.

Against the celestial team, Carlo Ancelotti might make several changes. According to various sources, the Italian might opt for Fede Valverde on the right side and Tchouaméni in the midfield. Another option is the Uruguayan on the right wing and the appearance of Ceballos or Raúl Asencio in the line-up.
