Predrag Mijatovic urges Real Madrid to improve despite recent winning form

Real Madrid opened the 2026-27 season with four victories in five matches, yet the club continues to face scrutiny from supporters. Despite a win against Inter Milan, fans at the Santiago Bernabeu booed the team, reflecting broader frustration regarding the lack of trophies over the past two years. Predrag Mijatovic, a former Real Madrid player and director, noted that while the squad under Jose Mourinho is developing a more serious, defensive identity, performances remain inconsistent. He emphasized that the team lacks a clear midfield conductor following the departures of Luka Modric and Toni Kroos. Mijatovic urged players to focus on their work despite the hostile environment created by the fans. The team now prepares for a match against Rayo Vallecano this Saturday, where they are expected to show more convincing form to quiet the mounting criticism.
