Until now, Ancelotti has still had trouble finding replacement players like Benzema, so this is what makes it difficult for Real Madrid to get a win like what happened when they fought Juventus yesterday. Hopefully, in the upcoming league, Real Madrid will be ready and able to compete with other teams and climb into the top five positions at the top of the standings.

In the League standings, Real Madrid is often in a good position, you can see an example last season where Real Madrid was still able to finish in runners-up even though they were not in good condition. And for next season I believe Real Madrid will be in better shape with some of the young players they have recruited this season even though these players are not at the same level as Benzema who has left Real Madrid, but I am pretty sure that Ancelotti will make Real Madrid triumph again next season.

Barcelona and Real Madrid had a good rivalry in La Liga last season with Barcelona the champions and Real Madrid the runners-up. Real Madrid finished as La Liga runners-up as well as eliminated from the semi-finals of the Champions League, but the upcoming season will be a bit more difficult for Real Madrid than last season as their team currently lacks a main striker which they are yet to fill. Real Madrid had Karim Benzema in their attacking line-up last season but they will miss Karim Benzema this season. They have shown in the first two friendlies that Karim Benzema's absence will have a negative impact on their team's performance. Real Madrid must forget the friendly match failure and do well in the main matches so that the fans do not understand the absence of Karim Benzema.

The biggest problem I see for Real Madrid right now is that they don't have enough players to score goals. After Benzema left the team, his absence is now being felt by Real Madrid. Now is the perfect time to add Kylian Mbappe to the team but it is not possible while the Barcelona team is progressing remarkably.

If they plan without Mbappé this season or plan without a main striker then they will have to accept a season of poor performance. After the departure of Karim Benzema, we thought that maybe the rest of the team could make up for Karim Benzema's absence, but nothing happened as Real Madrid were badly beaten in the first two matches. I think the current team has done well in the LaLiga but it is not possible to do well in the Champions League with this team. In the first two friendlies, Real Madrid fielded their best XI. Despite entering the field with the best XI, Real Madrid did not get any significant success. They definitely need an experienced striker in their squad to do well next season.

In fact, even if Mbappe is in the PSG team in the Champions League, I think they will not be able to do anything extraordinary. Because PSG's team structure is so weak, the team's coach is repeatedly failing to organize the team's tactics properly.
