MOURINHO STILL HAS FIVE REAL MADRID PROBLEMS TO SOLVE

Real Madrid may have strengthened the squad, but Mourinho still has major decisions to make before the new season begins. In this video, I break down the key battles across the team and ask the biggest question: who actually starts for Real Madrid? The squad is full of quality, but having great individual players does not automatically create a balanced starting eleven. Mourinho must decide which profiles complement each other, who controls the midfield, how the attack functions and which players are trusted in the biggest matches. I discuss the competition at right-back, the centre-back partnership, the balance of the midfield, the right-wing position and the relationship between Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Jr. Can Real Madrid fit all their biggest names into one system? Where should Jude Bellingham play? Does the midfield need another controller? And which players could lose their places under Mourinho? This is not simply about selecting the most talented eleven players. It is about building a team with balance, defensive security, creativity and a clear identity. Who would be in your Real Madrid starting XI next season? Let me know your team in the comments.
