Photo credit:football espana Following the return of Carlo Ancelotti in the 2021-22 season, Real Madrid won two domestic trophies and the Champions League. With these wins, Ancelotti set a record as the only manager to have led Madrid to win all six available top-tier major trophies. The club for the first time missed the services of its long-serving captain Sergio Ramos who joined PSG and his pair Varane who left for Manchester United. However, losing the club's first choice Centre back never stopped the team from achieving success. As the 2022-23 season kick starts, Ancelotti has continued to strengthen his squad with notable signings including the signing of Antonio Rudiger from Chelsea. Below is the detailed analysis of individual players of the club.
