Anything can happen, and Ancelotti has to be alert earlier than waiting for things to get out of hand. Benzema needs a suitable replacement and so far Real Madrid has not shown who really deserves the position. I didn't expect bad conditions from Real Madrid like other clubs who lost important players and suffered many setbacks. So it's better to prepare early. Real Madrid's finances are unquestionable because they are already rich enough to buy quality players.
Benzema has so far still performed with more solid performance, although in several matches he failed to score goal but his contribution in creating space and building cooperation so that Real Madrid's goal has been created cannot be separated from Benzema's contribution. Several goals scored by Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo have contribution and indirect assist from Benzema, I think early finding new replacement because Karim Benzema just return from injury in this season.
Lets waiting Benzema performance actually on next el clasico match how many goals and assist contributing by Benzema, I believe he can make less one goals and will open space for his tandem Vinicius Jr or Rodrygo for scoring goals, Benzema is typical excited forward because he not only can scoring goals but also he can give contribution open space for his friend to score.
