It's true that not winning the Champions League and La Liga is a setback for a club as big as Real Madrid, a fact that the departure of a player who made a strong impact on the pitch and dressing room like Benzema destabilized Madrid. It will be even worse I think if Luka Modric and Toni Kroos leave at the same time what will happen to the Madrid squad. Last season's Copa Del Rey is usually just an added bonus for Madrid, who have often won the Champions League and La Liga trophies.
Real Madrid new chapter has begun by recruiting several midfielders who are considered to have the potential to replace the role of players who are entering the age of veterans and retiring. This is an anticipatory step for the long term if Modric and Kroos are no longer at their current level of play, a step that must be made.
Real Madrid anticipated more quickly ahead of the departure of Modric and Toni Koos by bringing in quality midfielders, Modric and Toni Kroos were only offered a one-year contract extension from Real Madrid, meaning that if next season their contracts were not renewed, Real Madrid would lose two talented midfielders who had has helped the team for a long time and has presented various prestigious trophies. Currently Real Madrid really needs a quality striker to make up for last season's failure, Real Madrid will face a big challenge in the Champions League after several other clubs have started to improve. The embarrassing defeat to Manchester City last season needs to be evaluated to prevent the same mistakes, Barcelona has also brought in new players to strengthen their squad on different lines.
