MM Podcast: Figuring out Real Madrid’s best XI

On this episode of the Managing Madrid Podcast -- recorded just after Real Madrid demolished Deportivo at the Riazor -- Kiyan and Om took a deep dive into a plethora of questions surrounding Zidane's best XI. Topics discussed:

• Real Madrid's slight defensive dysfunction without Modric and Kroos
• The dynamism and commanding presence of Kovacic
• Real Madrid's front six running havoc against a dazed Deportivo side
• The team's ideal XI, and creating a hybrid lineup which works moving forward
