Real Madrid’s Worst Start in 21st Century: Ancelotti’s Second Time Around

Real Madrid has experienced a disappointing start to the current La Liga season, marking their fifth worst opening in the 21st century. Carlo Ancelotti, the team’s manager, is no stranger to a rocky beginning, having seen a similar performance in the 2014-15 season. Despite their struggles, the team remains confident in their ability to recover, as Ancelotti cites various factors including a delayed return from vacation, a new playing system, and injuries as contributing to their initial difficulties. The team faces a considerable challenge with a four-point gap to league leaders, Barcelona. Ancelotti is determined to rectify their performance, although this challenge comes amidst the arrival of Kylian Mbappé and the departure of Toni Kroos, adding another layer of complexity to the team’s dynamic.
