Real Madrid are out of the Champions League, they have almost prematurely lost the LaLiga to FC Barcelona, and they are out of the major domestic cup competitions. This is not what is usually the case with Real Madrid, who are one of the top football clubs for the past century.

There are numerous problems with the Madrid squad right now. The manager Santiago Solari is somehow not seeming to be the right man for the job. There is no depth in the squad with players on bench reliable enough to change the course of a match. All the star players in the squad are injury prone and are injured for the most part of the season. And there is no player who can score 20-30 goals for the team.

Basically, what Madrid needs, is an overhaul, starting right from the manager to the starting XI. It may take time for Real Madrid to bounce back to their once mighty form, but at least they need to prepare for the future now, which doesn't seem very bright.
