“Not good enough” – Real Madrid board makes feeling clear on problem position

Real Madrid's 5-2 defeat to Barcelona has led to criticism from the board, particularly regarding the midfield options available to coach Carlo Ancelotti.

While Jude Bellingham and Federico Valverde are not under scrutiny, Luka Modric, Eduardo Camavinga, and Dani Ceballos have been criticized.

Modric is seen as unsuitable for big matches, Camavinga is considered to have not made significant progress, and Ceballos is deemed unfit for crucial starting roles.

Despite these concerns, Real Madrid does not plan to sign a new midfielder during the winter transfer window. Club officials acknowledge the issue and expect Ancelotti to find solutions with the current squad.
