UEFA Champions League 2017-18: Real Madrid's performance was frustrating


Any team can have a bad day, but when it becomes consistent, certainly it gives raise to some questions. Real Madrid are having a bad season and last night their performance against Tottenham Hotspur was disastrous.

Be it the Los Blancos or Barcelona, whenever they lost their grip over midfield, they enter a lean-patch automatically. Then the centre backs of Madrid were sluggish – Spur forwards easily outweighed the likes of Sergio Ramos. Nacho Fernandez and Hakimi were both full of errors. Casemiro had no connection with Toni Kroos and Luka Modric and Cristiano Ronaldo was a shadow of last two seasons while I have nothing to say about Karim Benzema. Again, the highly rated Isco was found wanting at the right.


At present Real are flailing. For a team like Real Madrid it is expected, they will hit back similarly like the 2015-16 season. But that would require enough repair work in the midfield.
