AS: “The defeat against Barcelona proved that Real Madrid needs a specific player.. Without him, there won’t be heaven”

The Spanish newspaper AS analyzed the defeat that Real Madrid received against its arch-rivals, Barcelona, ​​by three clean goals, at dawn today, Sunday, in the United States of America, and confirmed that the Merengue needs a specific player if it wants to see heaven in the next season

And the newspaper said, in its report, that Real Madrid reached the goal many times, but was unable to score. His players made 29 shots, including only 5 shots on target, with zero goals.

There is no denying the fact that luck stood in the way of the Real Madrid players that night, as if there was a wall in the Barcelona goal that prevented the ball from entering the net. Vinicius missed a penalty kick that hit the crossbar, in addition to 4 other shots that hit either the post or the crossbar.

However, according to the opinion of the newspaper AS, all this proves that Real Madrid needs a pure number 9 striker who can finish all those chances in the opponents’ goal.

The name that imposes itself to occupy this position in Real Madrid is Kylian Mbappe, who topped the interests of everyone in the capital as an ideal candidate for the position of striker in the Ancelotti squad.

But there is ambiguity surrounding the position of Mbappe and Real Madrid. No one knows whether he will come to the Santiago Bernabeu this year or in 2024. If he does not come this season, it does not seem that the leaders of the White Club will contract with another striker before the market closes, which emerged from Ancelotti’s statements after the match. Manchester United when he confirmed that his team is complete and ready for the next season without the need for new deals.

In any case, the defeat against Barcelona proved that Real Madrid needed a strong No. 9 striker and Mbappe was the perfect choice.
