A recent update from MARCA has shed light on growing concerns within Real Madrid’s management regarding the team’s attitude, particularly in the aftermath of their disappointing loss to Real Betis.
The outlet mentions that the defeat has dealt a significant blow to the squad’s morale, raising questions about their mentality and approach in crucial moments of the season.
Days before the setback against Betis, Real Madrid had secured an impressive victory over Manchester City, a result that seemed to suggest their season was back on track.
However, the momentum gained from that triumph quickly dissipated, as Carlo Ancelotti’s side failed to maintain their intensity, tactical cohesion, and mental resilience.
The sudden drop in form has been alarming, with the team displaying a lack of urgency and determination, which has become a major source of frustration for both the coaching staff and club executives.

There is particular concern over the fact that Ancelotti frequently has to remind his squad about the importance of teamwork, collective sacrifice, and playing with a winning mentality.
Despite these reminders, the message does not always seem to resonate with the players, who have shown a tendency to drift away from the disciplined approach needed to compete at the highest level.
It must be noted that Real Madrid are facing significant issues in player availability. Despite these setbacks, though, the club’s leadership is emphasizing the need to move forward rather than dwell on past mistakes.
With crucial fixtures ahead, there is no room for regrets—only a necessity to learn from errors and make the necessary adjustments.
However, with key players unavailable, fielding an ideal starting eleven will be an uphill task for Ancelotti and his staff.
Real Madrid must find a way to regain their focus and intensity if they are to turn their fortunes around in the coming weeks.
