All these dedicated players has enabled Real Madrid be in the forefront by scoring 74 goals so far . Ancelotti has been in a better position to shuffle his team to produce the best performance possible as the whole pack is capable of making a masterclass team.
Despite Real Madrid facing major setbacks, they have always showcased growth and ability to succeed. Major injuries from key players such as Thibaut Courtois, Eder Militao and David Alaba has also been a huge blow to them. The 25 year old second goalkeeper Andriy Lunin however was able to step up and fill the void left. Antonio Rudiger on the other hand enjoyed an outstanding campaign being one of the most performing defenders making the team more stable.
A huge praise to Ancelotti’s ability to rotate the squad using the available players at hand to compensate the injuries. In the 34 games campaign, Real Madrid’s defence has only conceded 22 goals, making it the most defensively composed team in the Laliga Campaign.
