Real Madrid players perform well in their positions and their performance is very stable due to the very good understanding between the players. At the same time their coach is very experienced. On the other hand, their key striker Benzema has been in good form for almost the entire season. But he is old enough now. Madrid management will have to find a suitable replacement for Benzema now. At the same time, midfielder Modrich may retire in a few seasons. Real Madrid should find a suitable replacement for these two players. Otherwise, if they retire together, Real Madrid will not be able to maintain the continuity of their performance.
I heard something similar at the beginning of last year, when many people said that Real Madrid players are no longer young and they have big problems with the striker, but as we can see, they won the Champions League. Yes Modric is not young Cross either, but they are still playing very well. It’s too early to talk about the end of Benzema’s career now, and Vinicius is also growing up and gaining experience, so Real Madrid has no problems.
The combination of old players and young players can lead Real Madrid to win La Liga and the Champions League. Yes, some Real Madrid players are old, but they can still be relied on. Modric plays a good role in the midfield position, while Benzema's productivity in scoring goals is increasing. Real Madrid cannot rely on them for too long, the club must quickly find suitable replacements for Modric and Benzema. Real Madrid is not too difficult to find talented players, very many players are interested in being part of the Real Madrid squad, because the history of the club is able to attract the interest of the players anchored the Santiago Bernabeu.
@Cryptmuster, Real Madrid did not have the main competition in the league which was Barcelona. Barcelona was basically out of the equation. So Real Madrid did not have too many problems winning the league title but I think Real Madrid did really well to win the Champions League as well. And even though the players of Real Madrid are old right now they have lots of experience and that came in handy
Yes, I also agree with mamesso, I think Real Madrid had a really good balance of young and old players. And that helped Real Madrid a lot when it came to performing on the big stage of the Champions League. And obviously, we cannot forget that Benzema was absolutely on fire for Real Madrid.
