"As" reported that after a 2-5 defeat at Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid coach Xavi Alonso used his seven-hour flight to Kazakhstan to participate in the Champions League to review the defeat.

Alonso conducted an in-depth analysis with the coaching team and communicated with some players separately, facing the multiple fatal mistakes that led to the derby collapse and discussed some specific issues.

Among them, making Bellingham start hastily was considered a big defeat. The English midfielder was not only in poor condition on the court, but also seemed out of place. His appearance also disrupted the team's effective tactical system during the winning streak.

In addition, new players Heisen and Carreras, who were highly anticipated, also exposed their fragile side in this tough battle. The data is more telling. Real Madrid's iconic frontcourt pressure has almost disappeared, and the team's steals in one-third of the opponent's frontcourt plummeted from an average of 6.5 to only one.
