Real Madrid is still successful without having a great striker on par with Benzema. but Real Madrid can have this success because they have thorough preparation. And Joselu last season also played an important role in filling this void. The presence of Bellingham, who is only an attacking midfielder, can also cover the shortcomings at the tip of the spear. Because Bellingham is quite productive in scoring goals.
And next season Real Madrid will really be even more extraordinary. Because Benzema's position, which was initially vacant and temporarily filled by Joselu or sometimes Vinicius Jr., has now found a replacement, namely Mbappe. And not only that, Real Madrid will also have a talented young striker, namely Endrick. So Real Madrid will look to have a brighter season next season.
At a time when they are playing without the position that has been their mainstay, Real Madrid can still achieve great success domestically and in Europe. It is true that this is because of their preparation in seeing their weaknesses, and the shortcomings they have can be covered by good performances from the entire team. Joselu, who was thought to be unable to replace Benzema's role, also turned out to be the answer when Real Madrid was faced with a deadlock. Maybe it is true that he cannot be a replacement for the position left by Benzema, but in several matches he has managed to be the difference.
This is also inseparable from the ingenuity of the coach, Ancelotti. Even though he also received a lot of criticism because he was considered a coach who had run out of strategy, we can see that coaches who were considered to have no strategy actually achieved great success with Real Madrid.
