What went wrong?

the clusterfuck of incompetent managers save for Capello and Schuster.

the amount of talent in that team doesnt give them any excuse for so many exits in the ro16

square pegs round holes.

Old fucks plus Carlos Queiroz is a great solution

No stability. No balance. No good defenders.

The problem was actually the midfield. Figo couldn't do it alone, and was old, Sneijder couldn't do it alone, Alonso couldn't do it alone

There is a reason Real only truly became GOAT after having a stable midfield of Casemiro, Kroos and Modric

Yes, but how could they choke so against Monaco in 2004? Madrid was 3 goals up when Raul scored the away goal, still they choked. Or in the group stage 2004-2007 against Leverkusen, Lyon and Lyon once again so they had to play top teams in the last 16? Fucking AS Roma in 2008?

0-4 against Liverpool in 2009? Lyon again in the last 16 in 2010 despite having Cristiano Ronaldo?

I can't understand.

Guys

why didn't they replace Makelele? Literally the most important player.

Milan, Chelsea

Literally 2017-2018 PSG

They sold Makelele and didn't get a replacement
