The Real Madrid fans were stunned by the crisis of their team’s game, which lost against Milan at the Bernabéu in the Champions League, but what they did not expect was that the disappointments, and that in the same week two failures against teams were chained of the cosmopolitan economic capital of Italy in the highest continental competitions. The two teams do not have blood ties, but Armani and Milan have exposed the two great white transatlantics.

“I am not going to be nervous or put anxiety on a team that is working well every day,” before the last lost game. “If we fall, we get up and that’s what we do this year to be able to compete at the right time,” he said, but the nerves surfaced, there was a lack of energy and the conclusion was that Real Madrid is off to its worst start since the creation of the Euroleague. in 2000, with a balance of three wins and five losses. “Probably, our energy was not at its maximum today and from the beginning we saw that our legs were not moving with the same speed that we needed to face this duel,” pointed out the Madrid coach after the fifth away loss of the regular series.

After a season in which Madrid won everything, its beginnings in the current campaign in all competitions. In the Super Cup they lost to Unicaja de Málaga; The ACB League began with a defeat against Leyma Coruña, recently promoted, a clash that could be explained by the enthusiasm and drive of the rival, making its debut in the top category. But in their next outing, to Bilbao, they also lost and the alarms began to go off that are still on alert after the fifth defeat in the Euroleague in eight games. He has lost in all his outings (Bayern, Baskonia, Olympiacos, Maccabi and Milan), and only victories at the WiZink Center keep him standing.

The fact that Real Madrid lost two illustrious veterans, Sergio Rodríguez – honored in Milan by his former team – and Rudy Fernández, both retired, but who gave personality to the team, or the losses of Yabusele, Causeur and above all Poirier, Tavares’ replacement, have weakened the group. They were players who provided leadership and points in the latest Madrid successes and whose absences have weighed down the team, as well as the injury to Andrés Feliz’s plantar fascia, which Mateo has tried to patch as best he could. He has practically run out of bases in recent weeks, with Campazzo for a broken and a torn one. The club has carried out the largest roster renewal in the last decade and this is also noticeable on a day-to-day basis. According to sources close to the club, Real Madrid is moving in the market in search of an immediate solution to alleviate its shortcomings.
