Real Madrid is now concentrating on their upcoming match against Valladolid, aiming for their first win of the 2024-25 La Liga season. After getting past their previous game against Mallorca, Carlo Ancelottiâs team understands that Valladolid will require their top performance at the Santiago BernabĂ©u.
Despite this focus, Ancelotti and his coaching staff are still reflecting on the recent departure of Joselu, a player they had hoped to include this season alongside Vinicius Junior, Endrick, Kylian MbappĂ©, Rodrygo Goes, and Brahim DĂaz. Ancelotti had particularly envisioned Joselu making an impact in matches against defensively weak opponents, where his presence in the box would be valuable.
The player chose to accept a more lucrative offer from Qatar, leaving a gap that Ancelotti acknowledged in his comments after the Mallorca game.
