Real Madrid could make 20 shot attempts, but it couldn't be goals because Real Madrid has no top striker as a machine goal. Rodrygo played underperformance, while Bellingham may be unlucky at this match. Unfortunately, Real Madrid has no striker (CF) that can be a mainstay player for scoring goals. So, when Rodrygo and Bellingham can't play optimally, it is easy for Atletico to stop Real Madrid players for scoring goals.

A strong Frontline has been a major problem of Madrid since the beginning of the season just that they managed to cover it in previous match and made it not too obvious until they met Atletico who exposed this weakness of theirs.I wasn't expecting it to be an easy game with Madrid tho, because AthletiCo is not a week team at all to contend with in all sense.

A top striker who would have scored all the needed goals was very much important as the others were just attackers who couldn't convert their passes and assist in to goals. It was sad atletico had their first goal in the first four minutes of the game, I think this also weakend the moral of the players at Madrid, early goals often sounds like weakness on your side and superiority for your opponent.

Since their weak point have been made obviously clear it's left with Madrid to work on improvement so as to get better results in subsequent games as they can't go far in the champions league with such performance, they will definitely have to improve if they really want to go far in the champions league. Congrats to Athletico they deserved the win.

I said it that it would get to a point where Madrid would miss Karim Benzema even if they still have young stars that are scoring goals on regular basis,they still need a top striker that can give them that assurance in goal just the way Benzema gave them.They have Mudric and the rest of creative players in the team that can give an attacker assists to score,but they have none.Maybe Osimhen or Mbape would have been the best thing that they should have thought of buying in the January transfer window.Now they just have to wait for the next transfer window before they would make any signings of an attacker because they really need one in the middle of the park.

If Osimhen comes, he will achieve great things at Real Madrid. He is a player who is very strong physically and does not give up on double fights. He left behind a magnificent season in Napoli. I think he won't have any problems scoring goals as long as Real Madrid has great players behind him who can pass the ball to him. Osimhen and Mbappe can both play for Real Madrid.
