Ancelotti backs Mendy as Real Madrid left-back faces performance challenges

Carlo Ancelotti continues to support Real Madrid left-back Ferland Mendy despite his recent poor performances. Mendy, once praised as the best defensive full-back, has struggled this season, contributing to disappointing results for the team. Mendy has played in 13 of 15 matches but has not performed at his usual level. He has faced challenges, particularly in a recent match against Barcelona, where he struggled defensively. Despite these issues, Ancelotti has not changed his stance and keeps Mendy as the first-choice left-back. Real Madrid hopes he will regain his form as they approach important matches.
