Real Madrid’s attack is considered the strongest in Europe, but Mr. Ancelotti is still struggling to use Vinicius, Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo and Mbappé.

After a double La Liga and Champions League title, Real Madrid entered the new season with the mindset of the “king” of all titles. This was further proven when it successfully brought in star Kylie Mbappé. However, Madridista were all “offside” when proving the frequent failure of the attack.
Through 12 rounds in La Liga, Real Madrid’s attack scored 25 goals, nearly 15 goals more than their great rival Barcelona.
Vinicius Junior is securing an important scoring position with 8 goals and 4 assists. Meanwhile, the new blockbuster signing Kylie Mbappé only has 6 goals like 1 goal. The most disappointing thing is that Rodrygo only scored 3 goals.
Los Blancos’ best star last season, Jude Bellingham, just unlocked his goal account in the 4-0 victory over Osasuna in the previous round. If so, this time last season, the English midfielder had 13 goals and 3 assists. This is evidence of the 21-year-old player’s slippage in performance.
After MBB arrived, Bellingham could no longer play in his natural position. He often has to sit back deep, ensuring the role of making the ball and architecting the play for the whole team. Any opposition framing slows down this player’s ability to score.
As for the French star, Mappe is having an unimpressive run in his new shirt. After the last 6 matches, he only scored 1 goal and did not have too many highlights on the offensive front.
In the first Super Classic match of his career, striker No. 9 set a sad record when he fell into the offside trap 8 times and missed 2 opportunities to face the goalkeeper.
Concentrating too many balls on Mappe accidentally created the “lipstick” Rodrygo shed. Since the beginning of the season, fans have not been able to find the right winger’s screen icons and his contribution to the game of stretching the opposing team.
Among the stars mentioned above, 2024 Silver Ball Vinicius is probably the one who is still maintaining high speed. In the last 4 matches, striker No. 7 had 2 hat-tricks and became the leader of Real Madrid’s attack.
Coach Ancelotti has always been known for his ability to use the ball and control the ball. Therefore, surely the 65-year-old strategist will know how to adjust and balance the attack so that the stars can shine together.
However, the storm of injuries is currently giving him a headache in finding a winning formula for the royal team in the new season.
