#4 Real Madrid's lack of transfer activity

Levante v Real Madrid - La Liga
Real Madrid was one of the few big clubs that didn't sign a player in the last transfer window.

Real Madrid are in deep trouble. They are 19 points behind the leaders in La Liga and are out of the Copa del Rey. The UEFA Champions League is the only competition in which they are in contention.

It was only natural for fans to expect Zidane to spend big in this transfer window.

However, that was not the case.

Even though Zidane's targets were unavailable, fans feel that he could have done something to salvage this season.

Real Madrid were the only team in La Liga that didn't sign any player in the transfer window. Meanwhile, their rivals Barcelona spent £146 million on Philip Coutinho despite being in pole position to win the league.
