Real - When "The Best" becomes "The Worst"

"The Worst"

After just 39 minutes, Los Blancos were 3-0 down thanks to braces from Andre Silva and Wissam Ben Yedder. No one could recognize this as the defense of the three-time consecutive Champions League winners.

Real Madrid's central defenders are facing major problems with their positioning and ability to provide cover for each other in counter-attacking situations. The two full-backs, Marcelo and Nacho, frequently push too far forward, leaving the space behind them vulnerable to exploitation.

Real's defense was helpless in preventing Jesus Navas from using his incredible speed and combining with the forwards. This was the root cause of the goals conceded and numerous other dangerous situations directed towards Real's goal during the match.

After Ronaldo's departure, Benzema became the undisputed top scorer for Real Madrid. The French striker also proved his importance by scoring consistently in the first five league matches, securing victories for Real.

But in the away game against Sevilla, Benzema displayed his familiar poor form. In 59 minutes on the pitch, he only touched the ball 30 times and managed one shot that missed the target. That was it.

Not only was the defense poor, but apart from Benzema, Madrid's attack also lacked sharpness. The Spanish royal team's players completely missed their targets when approaching Sevilla's goal.

They unleashed 21 shots at Sevilla's goal, all of them failing to find the net. Real Madrid's squad was simply too strong for the home team at the Ramon Sánchez Pizjuan stadium. Ultimately, "The Best" became "The Worst," transforming from the best to the worst.

New coach Lopetegui cannot be considered innocent. He had a favorable start, with 13 points after 5 rounds, matching the achievements of Jose Mourinho and Zidane in the seasons when Real Madrid won La Liga. However, when it came time to rotate players, Real Madrid struggled. Dani Carvajal, for example, played 6 consecutive matches since the European Super Cup and 2 matches for the Spanish national team without rest. As a result, he suffered an injury and missed the last two games. When Casemiro was rested, Toni Kroos and Modric were immediately overwhelmed by Sevilla's numerous midfielders in their 3-5-2 formation.

Speed

Conversely, the home team's duo of Ben Yedder and Andre Silva have been playing exceptionally well. Since the start of the season, striker Andre Silva has scored 4 goals and provided 1 assist in 4 matches for Sevilla. Meanwhile, Andre Silva has also performed well in his first season playing in Spain, scoring 6 goals in 6 matches.

And this pair is helping Sevilla reach unexpected heights despite never having played together before. Their ability to read each other's intentions has created an extraordinary chemistry. With this dynamic duo, Sevilla has a great chance to finish in the top four of La Liga this season.

Despite losing 0-3 to Sevilla, Real Madrid still had a bit of luck because their rivals Barcelona also fell to Leganes. However, if they don't quickly recover, they will face difficulties in this weekend's El derbi Madrileno. Remember, Atletico Madrid is one of the best counter-attacking teams in Europe right now.
