Many teams may have started recruiting new players in their teams. This shows that there will be a lot of quite tight competition in European competitions. Madrid also cannot be too confident in their current strength because they could fall in the middle of the road because it is not that easy to play. games in the main squad with full star players, even though Madrid has been doing this for a long time, it takes time for adaptation between new and old players to be able to show their best game.
With Mbappe joining this season, I think Real Madrid has become a better club than the previous season. Last season they didn't have a pure striker but Ancelotti was able to use Vinicius Jr and Bellingham as strikers and managed to win La Liga and the Champions League. I think Real Madrid is still the first favorite to win La Liga and European competitions. They don't need much adaptation. They have a pure striker and they also have players who can replace Kroos. I think Real Madrid will still be Real Madrid this season.
