Yes, Benzema's contribution is indeed very high, we have seen how his contribution and influence is at the club, especially when competing on the field. He's like a soul. It is clear how different the team is when Benzema is there and not when the club is playing. And at the moment, there is no substitute for Benzema who is in line with expectations, so Real Madrid's performance has indeed declined significantly, even though they have bought several young players, this is not enough to say that Real Madrid is ready to compete with other big clubs in the world.
So far I only feel that Kylian Mbappe is a suitable striker to replace Benzema at Real Madrid. But I don't see Real Madrid really serious about wanting to sign Mbappe quickly before the 2023-2024 season starts, that will obviously make Real Madrid's chances not as good as expected.

I realize that Real Madrid is very weak without Benzema. Bellingham, Vinicius and Rodrygo are certainly good, but that won't help all season given the very tight fixture schedule.
