#4 Below-par transfer window
How often have you seen Real Madrid stay silent during a transfer window? Florentino Perez and co. completed the signings of Dani Ceballos and Theo Hernandez at the start of the window and decided to bring back some of their youngsters who had been out on loan.
On the other hand, they let Alvaro Morata and James Rodriguez laeve. Morata scored 15 league goals last season, the second most by any player and the most if you don't consider goals scored from set-pieces. James, meanwhile, was instrumental in Madrid's offence and registered six assists in the league.
In spite of selling two of their main players, Zidane didn't bring in any reinforcements and their absence is clearly being felt this season. With the team's first-choice striker Karim Benzema struggling to even get shots on target, the team are missing someone who can score goals consistently. Also, with the midfielders going through a rough patch, the team are lacking creativity.
Selling them might be a good decision because both the players wanted to leave but not replacing them is something that Madrid are regretting at the moment.
