#2 Poor squad depth exposed once again
Zidane decided to play Bale up front again and though he has generally done well in that position this season, he isn’t your natural number 9. Borja Mayoral was on the bench, but let’s be honest, he has looked listless this season and isn’t really up to Real Madrid’s standards.
Saving players for the Champions League is well and good, but Madrid have an important summer coming up as some of the players who they presumed were good enough just haven’t been able to perform consistently.
Even the defence was troubled at times as Gerard Moreno had as many as six five shots despite Ramos and Varane starting the game.
Without Ronaldo, they just didn’t seem like they were going to score.
