The only problem for Real Madrid right now is the lack of strikers. Joselu may be of good quality, but I doubt that he will be able to meet expectations in all tournaments as the sole striker of Real Madrid, who will also compete in UCL. Of course, one of the favorites in the championship race in La Liga is Real Madrid. Barcelona should no longer experience unexpected loss of points.
Joselu is just a mediocre player, he will not able to meet a high expectation in Real Madrid. I think he's just only used to make Ancelotti have a time to pick a good striker that is really replace Benzema.
This is a conspiracy theory, Mbappe contract end in the next season and Joselu contract also end in the next season, maybe Mbappe will join Real Madrid in the next season for free transfer.
