Pedja Mijatovic warns Real Madrid over squad depth and lack of creativity

Real Madrid icon Pedja Mijatovic questioned the club's capability to challenge for the La Liga title following a 2-1 victory over Inter Milan in the Champions League. Despite the win, Mijatovic noted that crowd frustration at the Santiago Bernabeu remains high due to a lack of recent trophies and specific player conduct. The former director of football highlighted a significant absence of a central playmaker, noting that the squad lacks a player capable of dictating the pace of matches. While Mijatovic acknowledged the early influence of manager Jose Mourinho, he urged supporters to exercise patience with the current project rather than judging the team based on the first five matches of the season. He emphasized that the club must look for solutions within the existing squad rather than comparing current players to former legends like Luka Modrić and Toni Kroos.
