Luka Modric just has to accept that this might be his last season with Real Madrid. The coach has started to rotate regularly which means other players get more playing minutes than Modric, but of course Ancelotti will not take a big risk by substituting Modric for some tough matches such as against Barcelona at the end of the month.

Bellingham is not in the same role as Modric, but Bellingham has certainly helped a lot this season. Kross and Modric are unlikely to stay much longer at Real Madrid and that's why I find them on the bench more often than not starting most games.

The Luka Modric era has faded a bit due to age, although his quality in providing measured passes to strikers has not disappeared as an advantage. Luka Modric can still be combined with young players and his experience is important to increase the confidence of young players. Even though he is not the main player, Ancelotti still needs Luka Modric for big matches because he has much more experience than other senior players. The typical playing styles of Jude Belligham and Luka Modric are different and in my opinion they can both play simultaneously because it will make it easier for Jude Belligham to score goals and Luka Modric can concentrate more on maintaining the rhythm of the game.

In this way the quality of their attacks will be much more dangerous because there is a focal point that can be placed by the two players in different positions and coupled with the presence of wingers who have speed to increase their attack power. This will result in a match that is much more attacking and just strengthen the back line so that Real Madrid's game will be much more perfect and it will be more difficult to beat
