Best manager: Julen Lopetegui

Enter

When Lopetegui took over as Real Madrid manager there was a lot of doubts among football experts on whether his style of play will suit Real Madrid. His style of keeping possession of the ball and slow build-ups received a lot of flak from Real Madrid fans after a humbling defeat to Atletico Madrid.

But it looks like Real Madrid players have adjusted very well to Lopetegui’s style. After a long time, Real Madrid played like a team with everyone performing their roles to perfection. They played out 618 passes in total with a great pass accuracy of 89 %. Real Madrid looked in total control throughout the game and could have scored at least 3 more goals with a bit of luck.
