We all thought Madrid wouldn't get off to a good start this season. Because the best player in their squad, Benzema has left the team. But so far Madrid have been doing great. They played well and won every match. And Madrid's performance so far has been great because Bellingham has been playing well. Bellingham has adapted very well to the Madrid squad. Although he is originally a midfielder, he has become a scorer for Madrid. He scored 5 goals and 1 assist in 4 matches. But if Bellingham's performance deteriorates, it will be difficult for Madrid to maintain consistency. We are yet to see good performances from Vini, Rodrygo and Jeselu.
I don't agree that Real Madrid's performance has been very good in the last 4 matches. We really find it difficult to win games even against teams like Almeria, Celta Vigo and Getafe. Without Benzema everything is different, I mean Real Madrid at this time always have difficulty penetrating the opponent's defense even though Bellingham can really be a differentiator.
Real Madrid also lost Vinicius to injury, so there should be problems facing Real Madrid this season tactically. Joselu and Rodygo are good, but neither can always be relied on without a more comparable replacement. I'm afraid that Real Madrid could lose against Real Soiciedad or Atletico Madrid this season without really good strengths, but I give them full confidence this season.
