Despite Real Madrid’s attempts to bolster their midfield, Casemiro, Luka Modric, and Toni Kroos have entrenched themselves in the starting line-up, with an in-form Isco the only player to sneak into the first XI.
Martin Odegaard, Dani Ceballos, Fede Valverde, and Eduardo Camavinga all failed to stop Los Blancos’ trident.
Real Madrid beat Granada 4-1 on Sunday, thanks to Casemiro, Modric, and Kroos.
The German dictated the tempo in midfield and provided two assists. Modric, Karim Benzema, and Vinicius scored Real Madrid’s third goal, while Casemiro set up Ferland Mendy’s fourth.
Carlo Ancelotti assured Real Madrid fans he wouldn’t overhaul the midfield triangle.
“Casemiro, Kroos, and Modric do things that I don’t even ask them to do,” said Ancelotti.
“But Real Madrid fans should be calm, and I am not going to get involved there.”
