There is fire at Real Madrid. Ten days after the humiliation experienced against Barça in La Liga, Real Madrid, who did not play this weekend due to the disaster that struck Valencia, followed up with a 3-1 defeat against Milan AC in the Champions League.

We have to raise our heads and continue to work, the season is very long and Madrid will fight until the end.”
And for many analysts, his comments were aimed in particular at Kylian Mbappé, whose lack of defensive efforts has been debated for several days.
