The victory against Sevilla on Saturday may have provided a momentary lift for Real Madrid, but it does little to mask the turbulent reality of a 2025 season devoid of silverware. The club finds itself far removed from the glory days of the previous season, which saw them clinch five titles. This stark contrast highlights a dismal start to the new year, with the team already closing the book on its competitive endeavors for the season.
As of January 15, 2025, Real Madrid’s current campaign has been marred by disappointment. Under the guidance of head coach Carlo Ancelotti and his assistant Davide Ancelotti, the squad has failed to replicate the success of the 2023-24 season. The absence of key players who have departed in recent years has left a notable gap in experience and leadership. With no trophies to their name thus far in 2025, fans are understandably anxious about the direction in which the club is heading.
Current Squad Dynamics
The current roster features notable talents such as Kylian MbappĂ©, VinĂcius JĂşnior, and Jude Bellingham, yet they have struggled to find consistency on the pitch. The midfield, comprised of stalwarts like Luka Modrić and emerging stars like Eduardo Camavinga, has been unable to control games as effectively as needed. Ancelotti’s tactical adjustments have often fallen short, leading to frustrating performances that have left supporters questioning their title ambitions.
A Year of Challenges Ahead
The year 2025 is shaping up to be one of challenge for Real Madrid, historically an unproductive year for the club. As they navigate through various fronts—be it player form, injuries, or strategic missteps—the pressure is mounting on Ancelotti and his staff. The lack of a trophy this early in the year raises concerns about morale within the squad and its ability to rebound in upcoming matches.
With their current trajectory, fans are left wondering if this season will be remembered as an ‘annus horribilis’ for Real Madrid. Will they be able to turn things around before it’s too late? Only time will tell if they can reclaim their status among Europe’s elite.
