“Lazy team”… Real Madrid’s disastrous record in the Champions League foretells its failure to win the title.

Real Madrid is not experiencing a good period currently, as it suffered losses to Barcelona in the Spanish League and then Milan in the Champions League. The AS newspaper revealed one of the disastrous numbers regarding the team’s performance that reveals a serious negative situation that coach Carlo Ancelotti needs to work on.

The newspaper explained that Real Madrid stars covered fewer distances on the field during Champions League matches than most of their competitors, as their average running per match reached 108.36 kilometers, and no team has a worse record than it except the Red Star, which covered a distance of 107.15 kilometers per match. In addition, the difference between them and the leader of this list, Sturm Graz of Austria, reached 115 kilometers! The team ran 5 kilometers less than Barcelona, ​​6 kilometers less than Manchester City, and 7 kilometers less than Atletico Madrid.

What is most dissatisfying is the fact that Real Madrid players ran fewer distances on the field than all of their competitors in the 4 matches that the team played in the continental championship. It was 5 kilometers less than Milan in the last match in particular, and what is worse is that their running rate per match is lower than last season. With which they won the title, approximately 6 kilometers.

The numbers say that Real Madrid achieved a running average in the Champions League of 115.4 kilometers in the 2021-2022 season and 114.6 in the last season, as it won the title in both seasons, but it only achieved 109.8 kilometers in the last season, which ended with Manchester City’s victory, which is This indicates that if the situation continues as it is, the Spanish team will not win the title this season.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti tried to reduce the impact and anxiety of that number, as he said after the loss to Milan, “Running a lot is not one of our technical characteristics. We were not the team that ran the most on the field when we won the title last season. That is not a problem. I cannot say.” “My players are lazy, but it is true that we are not able to work as an effective and good team at the present time.”
