I’ve been following Madrid’s matches recently, and I feel the team’s overall form this season has changed significantly compared to last season. Particularly the performances of several core players directly affect the team’s trajectory in La Liga and the Champions League. Today I want to discuss the recent performances of several key players.
Bellingham’s Midfield Dominance
Bellingham has truly been impressive this season. As a midfielder who transferred from Borussia Dortmund, you can find Real Madrid scarves celebrating his arrival, and his adaptation speed has exceeded many people’s expectations. He not only performs excellently in defense but also has very high offensive participation. In last weekend’s match against Rayo Vallecano, he completed a crucial assist that helped the team secure victory. His running coverage area is extensive, almost connecting the entire midfield.

Vinicius’s Attacking Power
Vinicius has continued his excellent form from last season, with speed and breakthrough remaining his greatest weapons. However, I’ve noticed he has improved in seizing opportunities, and his shot selection has become more reasonable. He now doesn’t just rely on individual ability; his coordination with teammates has also become more seamless. Especially the left-right wing rotation with Rodrygo has created significant problems for opposing defenses.
Below is a data comparison of several main players this season:
| Player Name | Appearances | Goals | Assists | Average Rating |
| Bellingham | 12 | 4 | 3 | 7.8 |
| Vinicius | 11 | 7 | 5 | 8.1 |
| Rodrygo | 10 | 3 | 4 | 7.5 |
| Camavinga | 9 | 1 | 2 | 7.2 |
Defensive Line Stability Issues
Speaking of defense, this is indeed an area where the team currently needs improvement, as any fan wearing a Real Madrid jersey would notice. The center-back partnership of Rüdiger and Alaba is generally solid, but occasionally makes mistakes when facing high-intensity pressing. Carvajal’s experience at right-back is extremely valuable; his defensive awareness and positioning sense are both excellent. At left-back, Mendy’s speed advantage is obvious, but his passing accuracy still has room for improvement.
Finally, I want to say that although we’re not currently in first place, the team’s overall chemistry is gradually forming. The integration between new and veteran players takes time, and I believe as the season progresses at the Madrid club, Madrid’s form will get better and better. What do you all think about the team’s prospects this season? Feel free to share your views in the comments.
