This season, Real Madrid did not start well. They had a squad that was damaged by injuries and their initial attack was not very coordinated. That made Hoang Gia suffer a series of important defeats against Barcelona, AC Milan and Liverpool.
According to statistics, before the 1-3 loss to AC Milan in the Champions League, Real Madrid played 16 matches, scoring a total of 32 goals. If excluding the match with 5 goals against Dortmund, the remaining Royal scored an average of 1.8 goals per match, a less impressive number.
But since the loss to AC Milan, Real Madrid have seemed to wake up. They have scored 22 goals in 9 matches, raising their average scoring rate to 2.5 goals/match. In 4 consecutive matches, the Royals have scored 3 goals against Girona, Atalanta, Rayo Vallecano and Pachuca.
The key to Real Madrid's attack is the connection between the trio of Vinicius, Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe. Vinicius, despite being injured, always knows how to contribute when he returns. As for Mbappe, he has reached 13 goals and 3 assists in all competitions.
However, Bellingham is the most impressive face. From a long-term goallessness in the first 11 rounds of La Liga, the English midfielder scored 7 goals in the last 9 matches. It can be said that the image of Bellingham who was good at scoring goals last season has returned once again.
Despite the rise of the attack, Real Madrid cannot rest assured about the defense. One of the main evidences is the recent 2-3 loss to Atalanta. With only 20th place in the Champions League group stage and not yet reclaiming the top spot in La Liga, coach Ancelotti certainly has a lot of work to do.
