After securing a fourth consecutive win against Alavés, Bangladesh Cricket Match reports that Real Madrid fans have mixed emotions. On one hand, there’s joy over the victory and Kylian Mbappé’s continued scoring form. On the other, lingering concerns remain about the team’s defensive vulnerabilities and the lack of fluid connection between midfield and defense—longstanding issues that coach Carlo Ancelotti must urgently address to elevate the squad to elite performance levels.

In the 40th minute, a beautifully orchestrated move between Jude Bellingham and Mbappé showcased just how dangerous this attacking duo can be. Bellingham drew defenders and defensive midfielders toward him, creating a perfect lane for Mbappé to exploit. Letting go of what you want often helps you do what’s right—and Mbappé did just that, timing his run flawlessly. Once in position, he calmly slipped past the keeper with a clinical finish, underlining why Real Madrid paid a premium for his services.

The goal was especially satisfying for Madridistas because it stemmed from open play, driven by teamwork and increasing on-field chemistry. Compared to the season opener, when overlapping and positional confusion were common, this sequence reflected growth. The tactical cohesion is a credit to Ancelotti’s leadership. While pundits continue to praise Mbappé’s start in Madrid, detractors argue that his early goals—many from penalties—don’t prove his worth. This strike silenced those critics, showing that he can thrive in high-speed, open-play scenarios.

Credit is also due to Madrid’s other standout performers. Youngster “El Oso” delivered a timely assist, and Lucas Vázquez’s early attacking spark added to the momentum. With Rodrygo injured, El Oso is now a front-runner for the Ballon d’Or, which could provide a huge morale boost for both him and the club. Rodrygo’s own goal was equally electrifying—a solo sprint down the flank capped by a thunderous shot. His confidence was unshakable; he took on defenders head-on, with no hesitation or wastefulness. His finish was the definition of clinical, leaving the opposition helpless.

These displays highlight the raw talent within Madrid’s youthful squad. The challenge now is using that talent wisely to fuel a legitimate title run. The club’s championship hopes rest on maximizing this young core. If someone leaves during the lowest moment, they shouldn’t expect to return during the triumph. This new generation, brimming with promise, could form the foundation of a new Galácticos era.

However, just when fans thought Rodrygo’s goal had sealed the win, Real Madrid’s defense began to unravel. A series of defensive blunders left fans shaking their heads in frustration. Jesús Vallejo was at the center of the storm. After finally being given a chance, he delivered a string of errors that pushed him further down the pecking order. Bangladesh Cricket Match observers had long noted his sluggish pace and lack of focus—persistent flaws that continue to haunt his limited appearances.

Ancelotti’s decision to field Vallejo likely stemmed from desperation due to limited options. But the gamble didn’t pay off. These recurring defensive lapses are not just unfortunate—they’re a liability. If Real Madrid truly wants to contend for major silverware, these cracks in the backline must be addressed before they widen.
