It has not been the best start of 2025 for Real Madrid, who since the beginning of January from the first to third to third place in the LA Liga classification. They were also extensively beaten in the Spanish Super Cup by Barcelona, although it is their competition form that has been the most disturbing.
Last weekend's defeat against Real Betis made it a victory in La Liga for Real Madrid, and because of this shape they are three points behind Barcelona at the top of the table. According to Diario, Carlo Ancelotti thought about the loss in the Benito Villamarin, of which he believes his side has already been bounced back.
“I was disappointed in the competition. I thought the team was in good condition, I did not expect that slump. But it was isolated. I don't think the players choose games, I think that the wear is very high in such a demanding season. Sometimes you may think that not every game that you are 100%. The dynamics was good and we responded well. We are on the right way again. “
Ancelotti was also asked about the criticism that Kylian Mbappe received after his performance against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League earlier this week.
“He didn't do what he was doing against City against Atleti. At a general level he is doing very well, we are very happy with him. We must take into account that he is not always at his best. The season is demanding, it is normal, especially with high -quality players, that has more ups and downs, it is something genetic. He is doing very well. If we are in the Champions League round of 16, it is a lot for him, he scored four goals in the draw. “
Another player who has put on research this season is Eduardo Camavinga, but Ancelotti expects the midfielder to be at his best soon.
“He has had no continuity, he has had important injuries. They have omitted him for three and a half months, making it more difficult to get continuity. Now he improves little by little, in recent competitions he has had back pain, which made him not play at 100%. He endured because of the needs of the team. He will return to his best version. “
