Real Madrid had the best defense in La Liga last season, but have been shaking at the rear during the first months of the 2020-21 campaign.
As is the international break in November, Real Madrid is fourth in La Liga and third in its Champions League group. In the league they have allowed more than one goal per game, and only nine teams in the league have allowed more goals than Los Blancos.
He is a long way from his defense in 2019-2020, which allowed fewer goals than any other club in Europe’s top five leagues, boasted the goalkeeper with the best clean sheet ratio in La Liga and led the team to its 34th league trophy.
Real Madrid need more from their defense. Ferland Mendy and Sergio Ramos have been as good as ever, but the same cannot be said for Raphael Varane. Meanwhile, Real have missed right-back Dani Carvajal a lot, and even his substitute, Álvaro Odriozola, has been out due to injury. And every time Marcelo replaces Mendy as left back, disaster will soon come.
The Whites have some big games after the international break, including matches against Villarreal and Inter Milan immediately when play resumes.
Here are four ways that Zinedine Zidane’s defense can improve. This unit has much more potential than what we have seen so far.
