• Carlo Ancelotti says Real Madrid needs to work on their defence before the new season starts
• Los Blancos suffered another defeat against Juventus in their final pre-season game

Carlo Ancelotti has suggested that Real Madrid’s pre-season tour has revealed the club’s major weakness heading into the 2023/24 season is their defence.

Los Blancos conceded three goals in as many games during their preseason tour after they were defeated 3-1 by Italian heavyweights Juventus in their final preseason game.

According to Sportskeeda, Ancelotti acknowledged that his Real Madrid team shipped far too many in, in these ties, after previously conceding three goals against arch-rivals Barcelona.

"Offensively, there are no problems, but we have to sort it out defensively. It's an easy problem to solve. There are things we have to try in this period, and it has been quite clear what we need to fix things."
