La Liga: Vital Match For Real Madrid As Barca Looks To Carry On Scoring
Red Star Belgrade: Real Madrid face a vital game in La Liga in the last round of matches before the next international break when they take on Osasuna on Saturday, immersed in arguably their biggest crisis since Carlo Ancelotti returned to the club. Tuesday's 3-1 defeat at home to AC Milan in the Champions League, which followed their 4-0 humiliation in the Bernabeu to FC Barcelona, has set alarm bells ringing, not just about results, but also the way Ancelotti's side is playing.
Real Madrid have looked disorganised in defense and midfield, while in attack, Kylian Mbappe is struggling for form, while a lack of pressing from the forwards is creating an imbalance in midfield.
Tuesday's loss has seen the start of speculation about Ancelotti's future as Real Madrid coach, and he needs both a win and a good performance to enjoy a quiet international break. Osasuna travel to Madrid fifth in the standings, and Vicente Moreno's well-organised and tough team will be a good test of where Real Madrid currently is in football terms.
