Are we finally getting on track?
We have seen some signings of improve in the last games, even if we still have things to improve, mainly the defense. In any case, it was a good overall performance and a good way to end of the year.
No doubt this team is starting to improve. That first half could have easily of been 4 or 5 to the good for RM. Mbappe gradually gaining confidence, Rodrygo in one of those scoring runs, Jude great all season, Valverde on track for 10+ goals again. It took 5 months but the gears…

This is exactly the kind of devastating transition offense I envisioned the team would have back in August

In MM podcast, Kiyan Sobhani only complains were the subs and defense. He has pointed out we could have seen Endrick this game and also Jesus Fortea. His ideas was to test Fortea to see how he goes. If we have an emergency, Carlo won’t put him as he hasn’t seen how he plays with the first team.
I still can’t get why Endrick, who has cost Real Madrid around €60M, has been sidelined almost completely. I know he is young and we must have patience with him, not throw him under the bus, but I don’t think yesterday was one of those situations. Moreover, this kid has started for Brazil NT, so I think he can play as sub for Real Madrid, as he already show he can do it.
