#4 Underwhelming window
Lopetegui started the season well but the sun had to set and once it did, the darkness crept in. It wouldn’t have mattered if the light bulb was replaced with another one.
But the point is, Florentino Perez didn’t. He didn’t sign a single proven goalscorer to replace the Ronaldo-sized gap in the team. So if he is upset about Madrid’s woes now, it would be like covering his eyes with his own hands and then complaining that the world is dark.
The Galacticos had a very quiet window as the only notable attackers that came in were Vinicius Jr. – whose signing was confirmed a long time ago – and Mariano.
