Real Madrid lose Benzema. Vinicius is out of the squad due to injury. Both of these players have consistently performed well in Real Madrid's attack last season. So without these two players, Madrid's attack is likely to be weaker now. Also Luka Modrich is old enough. He probably won't be on the field for the full 90 minutes. So Madrid's attacking performance will now depend on Bellingham, Joselu and Roadyrgo. Madrid's next match is against Sociedad. Winning this match is challenging for Madrid.
I had no doubts, Benzema Karim is a great player without a doubt but Real Madrid, which is a great team, can very well replace him with other young strikers that they have in their squad.
He could even take someone from the spring and have him play in the big league, its not a possibility to be discarded.
I've noticed some great problems in Real Madrid's attack share in a few games that don't exist in Barcelona's team, but Lewandowski is currently missing some great opportunities to score goals. But considering other aspects, Barcelona team is more self-sufficient than Real Madrid.
