Real Madrid are said to have decided not to sign a new defender to replace the injured David Alaba.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side cruised to a 4-1 victory over Villarreal at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday evening.
Bellingham, Rodrygo, Diaz, and Modric all scored to help their team to a fifth consecutive home victory in all competitions.
Unfortunately for Los Blancos, a serious knee injury forced Alaba off in the first half overshadowed their commanding performance.
Alaba became the third player to sustain an anterior cruciate ligament injury this season, the club announced after the match.

Thibaut Courtois and Eder Militao, both goalkeepers, are out with the same injury that Alaba suffered in Sunday’s win.
With Militao and Alaba out for the rest of the season, there has been speculation that Real Madrid may look to strengthen their defense in the January transfer window.
Real Madrid have no intention to sign another Defender to replace Alaba
According to Marca, Real Madrid have no plans to enter the January transfer market despite the fact that their backline has been ravaged by injuries, leaving Antonio Rudiger and Nacho as their only two fit senior centre-backs.
According to the report, the injury setbacks have forced Los Blancos to consider a variety of options for resolving their defensive crisis, including a possible recall for Rafa Marin.
The 21-year-old is currently on loan at Alaves, where he has made 13 top-flight appearances this season.
Despite the allure of re-signing the defender, Real Madrid intends to honor their loan agreement with the Basque team.
Real Madrid is considering a move for Lille’s CB Leny Yoro as part of its ongoing search for talented young players.
Los Blancos are reluctant to enter the market and are firmly sticking to their plan, even though they are considering a January transfer for the 18-year-old.
With that in mind, Ancelotti may look to the club’s B team and academy to bolster his dwindling squad.
Young players like Alvaro Carrillo, Marvel, and Jacobo Ramon may be subject to consideration if Ancelotti takes that course.
