Jose Mourinho's return to Real Madrid in July has not yet resolved a number of issues that observers say need fixing for the club to mount a genuine title challenge in La Liga.
Despite the coaching change, the team's performances have highlighted persistent problems that predate Mourinho's arrival, suggesting the fixes required go beyond tactical adjustments alone.
Analysts point to a combination of factors weighing on the squad, with Mourinho facing the task of addressing them quickly if Real Madrid are to remain competitive for the title this season.
With the season already underway, time is limited for Mourinho to implement lasting changes, and his early tenure will likely be judged on how quickly those underlying issues are resolved.
