Real Madrid has been completely dependent on Benzema for the last two seasons. And Benzema was in the best form of his career. So the overall performance of Real Madrid was very good. They won La Liga and the Champions League. But this season's scenario is a bit different. Real Madrid and Ancelotti want to rely on Benzema. But due to injury, he is unable to stay with the team. Benzema's performance has been poor since the start of the season. So I thought maybe Madrid would take an experienced striker in the winter transfer. But they did not take any steps to strengthen their offensive.

Real Madrid is favorable for Karim Benzema as a world-class striker and his presence on the pitch have boost the confidence of so many young players in the team. However he have not been in his best peak this season due to the constant injuries he got even before the world cup that didn't make him play a single game. The Los blancos winning the major trophies last season, I don't think they can even get hold of either the laliga title or the champions league due to their poor form. Carlo ancelotti will find solutions to the team's problem and fix it with sudden actions

Benzema is struggling for fitness and that's affecting the whole team performance. He's one ofthebest striker in the world and he has Given his best to Madrid, but it's high time Carlo Ancelotti look for his replacement in the attacking line, Benzema is aging and he can't be Madrid only striker. They have to sort out for a good young striker if they will win anything trophy this season.
Because Barcelona are already the title favourite with 8 points ahead of Real Madrid.

Sevilla's next game is a home one against Mallorca. They have a quite big odd for the win though like 1.90.

It feels like this is worth giving it a try. But Sevilla need to play very careful at the same time. Because Mallorca newly beat Real Madrid as you know. It was a big shock for us and Real Madrid fans maybe but a good morale for Mallorca players. Sevilla are even a problematic team which is why they need to be more aware of the threat. If we watch an effective Sevilla in the attacking line then they might be able to win this game.

Those are pretty good odds, but I doubt that if I bet on this match, the chances of a slim win for both teams can still happen. Indeed, Mallorca's previous results can be a good pump for the enthusiasm of the players against Sevilla later. Moreover, this is an away game for Mallorca even though it looks difficult I'm sure they will be able to win the match. Apart from that, Mallorca has a strong target in this match. If they win, their position in the standings will rise significantly to 7th and they will definitely try to get this in this match.

madrid lost 1-0 to mallorca and the saddest thing is that madrid in this match could only make 1 "shot on target". without benzema, madrid's front line looks toothless but actually, Ancelotti is trying hard to make madrid's front line not depend on benzema because that's not good.

I can't believe that Ancelotti is trying not to rely on Benzema now. The team has depended on Benzema for the last two seasons. And there is no way to reduce this dependence without a suitable replacement for Benzema. Madrid needs a talented and experienced striker now. But Ancelotti is only relying on two young players like Vinicius and Rodrygo. These two players are talented, but they are not experienced. Madrid needs experienced players.

Real Madrid want to rely on Benzema for each matches but Benzema was often to get injured and this makes Real Madrid cannot played him even during this season Benzema only can played him 12 times and Ancelotti was attempts to experiment with played other player such as Rodrygo as the replacement of Benzema but his performance doesn't really good and this is the risk when some of particular clubs always be rely on one player because if those players got injured the performance of those clubs will automatically decline
I was wondering in winter transfer window why Real Madrid doesn't try to signing new strikers because i think if Real Madrid bought at least one player probably they will solved this problem

After the Man City's scandal, it's a golden chance for Madrid to hijack Haaland Wink

Don't you think getting him would be very expensive after just 1 season of signing at Manchester City?
They had a golden chance to get a centre forward from Bundesliga (Haaland and Lewandowski) last summer, but they thought they could depend on Benzema.

Why not? Haaland has been rumoring intentionally to leave the club.

I am not one who like English related players because of the media hype, but maybe they can try Harry Kane and see how it goes.

Haaland can't even expect himself to play in the championship division once city got degradation as a sanction for the club.

I personally believe that Haaland is an opportunistic player, and he’ll be switching clubs constantly and that was a key reason why Real Madrid didn’t target him but now they have an excellent chance to sweep in and take him to La Liga. Furthermore I feel that even Kane isn’t a bad signing provided they can strike a deal with Tottenham, because he can guarantee them goals and he has lots of experience too which will further improve the team.

At this time of Benzema's career it will be difficult to completely rely on him to carry the team because he is aged and obviously becoming prone to injuries, the best move for Ancelloti now is to find a suitable replacement for Benzema in the summer since the transfer window is already closed. There are still so many options in the market in that position, Real Madrid could try making a deal for Victor Osimhen in the summer.

I don't think the age of Benzema has something to do with his recent injury crises since this season, Benzema is just 35 years old and his performance on the pitch is very good just that he needs some time to really get better because the Real Madrid team is already built on his shoulder as his absence in the team has affected the performance of the team and they are beginning to drop unnecessary points Considering the condition of Benzema now, getting a replacement for him is not a bad idea and getting a player like Victor Osimhen of Napoli whom you suggested is good because currently he is highest the highest goal scorer in SerieA right now is amazing and I hope they make the deal as fast as possible.

I think Benzema had his peak and now the time is a bit over. He won't perform again as good as he did when he became the world's best football player. That's a thing of the past I think.
He is still good enough to fill the gap for a central striker, but he is also more prone to injuries with every year passing by. That is why they urgently need a central striker as soon as possible. But Real Madrid wouldn't be Real Madrid if they didn't know that. They are working on something big behind the scenes I am very sure about that.

Firstly Benzema is over 35 now. And his fitness is not good. In such a situation, the whole team should not rely on Benzema. He will be plagued with several more injuries this season. Coming back from injury is difficult to perform well. So Real Madrid should reduce their dependence on Benzema. If the Madrid team does not reduce their dependence on Benzema, we will see more erratic performances from them in the future. Real Madrid needed to find a suitable replacement for Benzema this season. But Ancelotti did not add anyone to the team as a replacement for Benzema. Was it not his fault?

It would be great if they get Mbappe. It would be a vital transfer for Real Madrid. I can't see a name to fill the gap in the forward line for long periods after the analogy. Vinicius is important, of course, but if Mbappe comes, it will be of incredible benefit. Of course, we don't know if Perez will get it or not. If they want international success to continue, players like Mbappe should be transferred.

Why does it have to be Mbappe, who is now often linked, even though it was quite clear before that he rejected Madrid because he did get a bigger advantage at PSG before.
I think that is the answer unless Madrid is willing to spend part of their money to bring this player at an unreasonable price.
I think something like this needs to stop bringing up because now at least this season it's not going to happen.
Quality indeed I know Mbappe is a great player but when he has refused then why continue to hope for something that is not possible this season.

I feel Real Madrid will be active again in the summer and by that time it will be much easier to go for Jude Bellingham because the season will be over and Dortmund will also have enough time to find a suitable replacement for him if they can close the deal. Madrid will also have enough time to search for the kind of striker they want to replace Karim Benzema in center forward position next season.

Real Madrid will not prioritize to buy Jude Bellingham because in the midfield, they already have some great young players, Camavinga, Tchouameni, Valverde. Jude is a good player but Real Madrid don't actually need him.

They have a more important priority, finding a good replacement for Benzema at a striker position in their squad. Vini Jr. and Rodrygo are growing very quickly and impressively but they are not players suited for striker position. Mbappe and Haaland are perfect players for Real Madrid to sign in the summer transfer.

Mbappe always wants to leave PSG and Haaland can leave Manchester City if the crisis there won't be handled good enough.

It is good to have faith in the available squad because it will give them that motivation and boost in confidence but we have face the reality that Real Madrid are short in some areas that need strengthening at the moment, playing Rodrygo in centre forward is not reliable enough and we have seen how poor the results have been.

Indeed, this has become quite good with the trust given, but on the other hand this has also backfired a bit, especially when players are injured. and now it's happening to Mendy there. He has no replacement which requires that Camavinga is temporarily forced to replace even if that is not his ideal position.
I think Ancelotti has ruled this out, even though he knows better but pushing too hard isn't really good either.

There is no news about the policy taken by Real Madrid regarding transfers. The last rumor is Belingham which is in demand by Anceloti. But the news just evaporated. Actually, I am also waiting for the moment for this, because they are currently the right time to regenerate players who are getting old. Especially in the striker position. I don't really understand if they put it all in place to buy Mbaape? It became a mystery. They should be able to use this season to buy some of the players they need.

That's very disappointing madrid didn't buy some important players that may replace the old players like tony kroos. Jude bellingham should become the main target by madrid but as you said that the rumor was just disappearing from the market. Real madrid is not interested anymore with mbappe but the transfer decision will be coming from ancellotti.

I quoted what ancellotti said during the transfer season in january

Quote

Ancelotti emphasized his faith in his squad, telling reporters: "We didn’t dip into the winter market because we didn’t need to. If you plan your squad well in summer then you don’t need to use the winter market. When you sign in January it means something has happened, which could be an injury, but we’re fine."

Ancelotti also criticised the intense schedule in the coming months:

"This club doesn’t take any matches off and we try to win every competition," he said. "But, the schedule is too much and there is a limit."

source: https://www.goal.com/en/news/ancelotti-why-real-madrid-did-absolutely-nothing-january-transfer-window/bltf9bf1eebe20db31c

Ancellotti was making wrong prediction about that. Ancellotti might have bought some players caused there will be many schedules for real madrid.

It is good to have faith in the available squad because it will give them that motivation and boost in confidence but we have face the reality that Real Madrid are short in some areas that need strengthening at the moment, playing Rodrygo in centre forward is not reliable enough and we have seen how poor the results have been.

I see something different here, I think it's good for the team if there are players who can play in several positions, that should be the ability of every player. But the problem is they lack players who are in that position and they seem to force it, which is not good.
I haven't seen the creativity of Carlo Ancelotti when Real Madrid is down like this.

But you can see in today's Real Madrid match against Al Ahly that they were able to win with a lot of scores, Real Madrid should have also been able to get a lot of goals against other big clubs. There is no other choice but to try to correct mistakes and form new strategies because La Liga is a very prestigious match.

With all due respect to Al Ahly, the FIFA Club World Cup is a completely different tournament and more of an exhibition and by no means indicative in terms of Real Madrid's chances of winning the title in La Liga. The European and South American teams are a priori considered favorites and enter the fight only at the semi-final stage. However, this did not help Flamengo in the other semi-final match and now we have a rather unexpected final. Therefore, if the current Real Madrid squad can win the FIFA Club World Cup, this does not automatically mean winning La Liga. Different tournaments, different number of matches and different depth of the squad is needed for success.

Atletico Madrid are trying to bandage their wounds but they are still an unreliable team now.

Because you know how disappointing ending they had against Getafe. It should have been an easy win for Atletico Madrid normally. But they couldn't keep the match under control until it ended. If they can't even win a match like this in their home stadium how can I believe in them to get better soon? They seem like they are just trying not to drop down from top four. They can't do more than that either now actually. They have already lost their chance for the league title. I wonder if they will get into a revolution phase or something like that by the end of the season.

I understand the disappointment you felt when I saw Atletico Madrid, who should have been able to win the match easily enough, had to be willing to be held to a quite dramatic draw. namely Getafe were lucky to have the opportunity to equalize through a penalty kick in the 83rd minute. and actually Atletico Madrid also squandered the opportunities they got several times. and I doubt whether Atletico Madrid will be able to win the next game against Celta Vigo. because at the moment Celta Vigo looks to have a pretty good improvement. even athtetic bilbao and Real Betis have lost to Celta Vigo. I hope for the next match Atletico Madrid can play better.

I think that Barcelona did the right thing by not trying to make big signings in the January transfer window.

Because I don't believe that there was any need for such transfers for them. They have a solid squad already and the Lewandowski transfer has made a big impact for the team also. Besides their financial situation and FFP were also seeming like hindrances to their bringing more players by spending so much money in this transfer window. They are already in big debt now and they should focus on making up for it in time. This can happen easier if they have as much successful season as possible. Winning the La Liga title is essential for them now.

Barcelona have a good and stable squad, the team is neither lacking in numbers so I least expected more signings for Barcelona and I think with the current squad they can carry on until the end of the season. Indeed Lewandowski's transfer made a huge impact on the team's performance, they have improved their attack and are getting many goals this season. It will do so much good to the club financially if they can win the Laliga title.
