Ancelotti’s team, classified first, have played just three games and already have six injuries, more than any other team in the championship.
It’s possible that Real Madrid played their worst game so far this season in Balaídos, but no one can deny that they’re going strong in LaLiga 2023-2024.
From a numerical point of view, Ancelotti’s team counts all its games based on wins, being the only one to score nine points after the first three days (Rayo would equal that record if they beat Atlético this Monday).
But Madrid’s drama so far this season has not been reflected in the standings, which see the Whites two points ahead of Girona and Barcelona thanks to victories over Athletic, Almeria and Celta.
It is clear that the leader’s problem is not in the table, but in the infirmary. Just 270 minutes into the championship, Real Madrid already have six injured, with Vinicius last on the list.
