When the new season started, especially after the transfer window ended – the world of ‘Madridismo’ was filled with negativity.

No striker signing, Courtois’ and Militão’s ACL injuries – going into the season with only 3 CB’s, 4 attackers were some of the reasons Real Madrid fans could feel a bad season is coming.

As the season progressed, one more problem rose at Real Madrid – and that was injuries, happening right and left, every match to different players – from the GK’s to the attackers, even to the point where Real Madrid were forced to start Tchouaméni as a CB. Everything seemed to be heading into the negative route, but so far – amazing for Carlo Ancelotti and his boys.

As we are four months into the season, Real Madrid is doing pretty well – to the point that it can be considered super positive so far.

Rotating between two GK’s, rarely having the chance to play the same defensive line-up twice in a row, Real Madrid have made the best start in the history of the club in La Liga and have kept 10 clean sheets in all competitions – showing great defensive stability, despite all the absences.

A formation that’s often forced to use to wingers as strikers, and Real Madrid have already reached 50 goals this season. Obviously a big help in all this is Jude Bellingham’s historic start at Real Madrid, but also the big work from all the team.

Players like Joselu, Brahim, Kroos, Carvajal, Fran Garcia are adding the needed offensive contribution – this can be seen in the team numbers so far this season. A team work at Real Madrid that is working together like never before.

‼️ Most G/A for Real Madrid this season:

• Jude Bellingham – 21
• Rodrygo – 15
• Viní Jr, Joselu – 10
• Toni Kroos – 6
• Brahim Diaz – 5
• Dani Carvajal, Fran Garcia – 4 pic.twitter.com/DriBRi65gi

But – the biggest help out of all is Carlo Ancelotti, who is arguably having his most positive run at Real Madrid. The Italian coach has managed to build the perfect formation that fits his team like a glove, maximizing the capacities of the squad he has in disposal.

The limits on this team seem obvious and the need to improve some positions is clear, but despite this has never complained and worked perfectly with what he has been served.

This season we have seen the peak version of Carvajal, a really good Andriy Lunin, Kroos in perfect shape, a reborn Ferland Mendy – the French duo Tchouameni & Camavinga just getting better, a more clinical Rodrygo, the best version of Federico Valverde, a Brahim Diaz that keeps improving and influencing the game, the Joselu who can add good numbers, a Fran Garcia that does well whenever he plays, Rüdiger who is arguably the best CB in the world, Nacho and Vazquez who are always there to help, Ceballos who is back in shape, Jude Bellingham who keeps shocking everyone – and still awaiting to see Vini Jr. in full flow, Arda Güler to make his debut and much more.

Thanks to Carlo Ancelotti and the players, at the Santiago Bernabeu we see a group that seems like a family and is ready to give everything on the pitch for the Royal White shirt.

A season that started negatively, now seems like a very promising season for Real Madrid.

Aurelien Tchouameni, Arda Güler, Vini Jr, Eduardo Camavinga, Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao and Thibaut Courtois will return week by week, and with this team has shown – we are just left to wonder what we are capable of achieving when everyone is up and running.

Step by step, together trying to achieve everything. This team promises absolutely everything – and all we can do is stand behind them in the hunt for more wins!
