At the moment, Real Madrid can be recognized as the strongest team in La Liga. The team is at the top of the table because of coach Ancelotti's excellent match strategy. They won 8 out of 9 matches. However, Madrid's squad has some weaknesses. The Madrid team is dependent on their midfielders. I saw that in matches where the midfielders did not play well, Madrid's overall performance was very poor. If Bellingham misses a few games for some reason, Madrid's performance will suffer. Vini and Rodrygo cannot be trusted. The performance of these two players is very erratic. If Bellingham can continue like this, Real Madrid will not lose the top spot in the table.
It is true that La Liga runs like previous seasons where Real Madrid is always at the top of the standings and exchanges positions with Barcelona, every now and then ATM appears with a surprise by becoming a dark horse. For this season, it is not only Madrid that is considered quite strong, Barca is also included, even though they are in third place in the standings, in fact Barcelona is currently the only club in La Liga that has not suffered a defeat. On other hand, Ancelotti expertise in formulating strategies went as expected, even though the start of the season was hampered by a storm of player injuries.
Regarding Bellingham, I think he has played a key role in the Madrid squad, and succeeded in playing a role as a player who supported the Madrid squad as a whole to win several important matches. Vinicius and Rodrygo are taking turns suffering from injuries, perhaps that is the reason their goal productivity has decreased at the moment.
