3 Real Madrid players who are in terrible form this season

Real Madrid are probably going through their worst period in the last decade. After three successive Champions League titles with Zinedine Zidane, the club is now in a real identity crisis. This summer, Zidane surprisingly left the club, so Florentino Perez needed to find a new manager.

Just before the World Cup in Russia, Real Madrid announced that Julen Lopetegui would become their new head coach. Many people have thought that the former manager of Spain national team is the real man for this job because of his possession-based football.

But, at this point, we can say that the club is in a real decline under the guidance of the 52-years-old manager. After 10 matches played in LaLiga, Real Madrid have only 14 points, and they are currently sitting on the 9th place with 7 points behind Barcelona. On Sunday, Barcelona crashed Real Madrid with 5-1, and this could be the last game for Lopetegui as the Real Madrid coach.

However, it could be very unfair to say that Lopetegui is the only culprit for their current situation. The players are also in a terrible form, and they are also to blame for this situation.

So, let's take a look at 3 worst Real Madrid players so far this season.

#1 Sergio Ramos

It's a well-known fact that Real Madrid lack a real goalscorer after Cristiano Ronaldo's departure to Juventus this summer, but this isn't their biggest problem. Their defence looks horrible and because of that, they have conceded many goals this season.

So, Sergio Ramos is the first player on this list. Real Madrid captain is struggling to find his best form and also his attitude outside of the pitch is questionable. In these hard days for Real Madrid, Ramos should be the one to motivate the team and act like a real leader but he is acting totally different from that.

He might need an authoritative manager to relax him a bit and make him focus on football.

#2 Raphael Varane

Raphael Varane is in a real downfall after the World Cup in Russia

The second player on this list is another member of Real Madrid's defence, Raphael Varane. Varane won the World Cup in Russia with his national team this summer and was one of the main players in that achievement. But, after that tournament, Varane has struggled to get back in his best form.

In the last match at the Santiago Bernabeu against Levante, Varane was the culprit for both goals Real Madrid conceded in that game. Also, in El Classico on Saturday evening, Varane made a penalty on Suarez.

His concentration is not at the highest level so he often forgets to track opposition attacker. It's obvious that something is wrong with the French international. If a new manager comes to Real Madrid, he should think about benching Raphael Varane. He definitely isn't material for the starting lineup now.

#3 Luka Modrić

Has any player’s form dropped as badly as Luka Modrić's since the World Cup in Russia? I don't think so. The Croatian international looks unrecognizable at the moment.

This summer, the player led his national team to the finals at the World Cup in Russia. However, they were defeated in the final match against France but Luka Modrić was declared as the best player of that tournament. At that point, Luka Modrić was probably the first contender for 2018 Balon d'Or award.

It's really hard to understand what is happening with Luka. His partnership with Toni Kroos in the middle of the park isn't as good as it has been in the past few years. Simply, Luka Modrić can't establish dominance on the field and this is surely one of the reasons why Real Madrid are struggling at the moment.
