In terms of performances, Real Madrid’s start to the season has not been spectacular; several of their shows have let the supporters down. However, their performance in terms of outcomes is undeniable, as they have won every game save a 3-1 setback at the Metropolitano Stadium against Atletico Madrid.

This is undoubtedly a transitioning era for the club. Additionally, the fact that a number of their important players are currently sidelined due to injuries hasn’t helped them.

Moreover, it appears that they are rapidly drifting away from the Old Guard. And they’re not happy about not getting enough game time.

Both Luka Modric and Toni Kroos are no longer considered starters, according to The Athletic. And they’re not happy about it.

Two superstars from Real Madrid are not thrilled with their responsibilities.Kroos and Modric are two all-time legends of the competition. It will be hard for others to achieve what those two have done over their time at Santiago Bernabeu.

However, it’s crucial to acknowledge that both are nearing the end of their professional lives. Even though they might still be quite good individually, playing them together doesn’t seem like a very good idea these days.

In their most recent matchup against Atletico Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti did start the two of them together, but the outcome was not ideal. Although it must be mentioned that Kroos did score a fantastic goal on the day.

Real Madrid is currently facing intense competition in the middle of the park. It’s possible that Fede Valverde, Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, and Aurelien Tchouameni have surpassed Kroos and Modric in the standings. One day, it will be heartbreaking to see them go, but that’s football. It is existence.
