The Spanish giant lies third in La Liga and has made it through to the Champions League last-16, but rumors of unrest abound at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Arrigo Sacchi says individual skills are given more importance than teamwork at Real Madrid and feels head coach Rafael Benitez must make compromises to avoid upsetting the squad's hierarchy.
Former AC Milan boss Sacchi served as director of football at the Liga giant from 2004 to 2005, offering him valuable insight into the workings behind the scenes at Santiago Bernabeu.
Benitez, approaching the half-way mark of his first campaign in charge, has guided Madrid to third in the table, five points behind reigning champion Barcelona.
