Such a weak league La Liga now, This average Real Madrid should be no where near the top, If Simeone would actually take the hand brake off his team they will be miles clear in the new year, it has to be the worst Real Madrid squad since mid 90's, until Capello rolled up in summer 1996 and won the title in 97, the club has 9 league titles and 7 European cups since then.

Talisman Ramos gone, Regressing Varane gone, still relying on a 36 year old Modric, Kroos on his last legs and a 34 year old Striker still leading the line.

What a sad state of affairs that league is full of age 30 something former stars, the funny thing is Barcelona have the 3 best young talents in the League with Fati, De Jong and Pedri and they would be lucky to finish top 6.

If Atletico let this league slip, it would be shambolic of Simeone, they are head and shoulders better than everyone in La Liga.

Fati, De Jong and Pedri...

How about Kounde, Felix, Valverde, Camavinga, Militao, Vinicius, Isak.Rodrygo and Cunha.

You could argue that those players are up there.

Pedri, Kounde and Valverde for me.

He's not entirely wrong. League is weakest it's been in some time on many metrics and fell well behind EPL in technical ability, coaching etc
Champions scored 70 goals, lowest since I can't even remember.

The best league has to offer are young kids who shouldnt really be in that position since they may spontaneously combust and instead we are now seeing 1B release clauses on Pedri, Fati and Fede contracts to dissuade state-owned teams from pinching talent.

It's not terrible and teams can definitely pull their weight in Europe, especially since the Brits treat their domestic league like the Americans treat the World Series. But overall talent has gone down.

It may well be on the ups again if the likes of Sterling, Salah, Mbappe and Haaland all join Spanish sides as they recover post-Covid
 
Mhm.. approach was less than exciting though.
Resorted to conservative tactics, counters and timewasting from 70th minute against a historically bad Barcelona with Luuk de Jong up top.

Not exactly winning fans with it, but hey, 3 points is 3 points

Carlo Ancelotti's Everton release clause revealed - Manager's efforts to return to Real Madrid clear - Sport Witness

Carlo Ancelotti ‘gave everything’ to make a return to Real Madrid from Everton this summer, with the Italian pushing for the move personally. That’s according to AS, who say Everton made a measly €5m from the move, courtesy of a clause in the Italian’s contract. They explain that Ancelotti...

If true then I can’t fault him.
