I want to see how Atletico Madrid start again when the league is back up and running. Lastly they lost 2 times and got 1 draw before the break. So they now have to get off to a better start as they need to catch up on points from Real Madrid and Barcelona. Even though it was tough, at least they were back in the top 3 in Clement. They are scheduled to face Elche in their first game after the break, a good start for them as they are an easy opponent.
Atletico Madrid are currently in fifth place in the La Liga standings with points they have collected as many as 24 units and are only 2 units different from third place. This will make position changes always occur from the third in the standings to the fifth in the standings when the match results look different. I think there will be very exciting competition in the second half of the season considering that there are three teams that have the same number of points at the moment and they are all in a very good position in the standings (4, 5 and 6).

You are right, Real Madrid's weakness at the moment is a shortage of strikers when Benzema is injured. Ancelotti should not be too selfish and confident that Real Madrid do not need an additional striker this season, clearly they do because Benzema will no longer be able to survive unscathed. He's getting older and his performance will drop, that's for sure.
I do agree with you. Although Real Madrid still has Rodrigo, Asensio, and Vinicius JR, they are not in the same position as Benzema as CF. So, I think also they really need the position of Benzema replacement. Although they also have the second position by Díaz, his performance is bad so far, so Ancelotti prefers to use those three players as the tactic. And in the UCL, the competitions will be very hard, they need more than their squad right now, moreover when suddenly Benzema gets injured again. Since we talk about Hazard here , first of all , before he joined Real Madrid he was consider at that point in top 3 players in the world , right after Messi and Ronaldo because Neymar was not in a great shape in that period but after Hazard moved to Real , his big problems started to appear from every direction and this was the moment his career went down on spiral but if he somehow joins Juventus from January , this move might resurrect his career and he deserve one last chance. If he won't move to Juve , then , I guess , he will go in MLS without any question.
Many players tend to destroy their good career spell with wrong moves to different clubs that turn out to be wrong moves and cause them to decline in their performances and Hazard unfortunately is one of the victims of such situations. He was like a God for Chelsea in the premier league until he made a move to Real Madrid and we barely see the Hazard we know. Hopefully if he moves to Juventus this might change but a move isn't sure for now so let's watch and see what happens in January.

I think Hazard is already a surplus to requirement and Real Madrid are finally ready to part ways with him in January. Real Madrid need to complete some major transfers in January to boost the squad for the remainder of the season, a few exits will also happen in January. I’m not quite sure of his destination though but I read he might be moving to Juventus. 
Benzema is healed? If that is the case then I feel like there is a good chance Real would play a lot better after the world cup, I thought his injury was until late January, early February thing, that is what I read when I first saw it, but if he is healed (I just checked, he looks to be cleared) that means he is going to be very important to Real and their goals.
Of course, he would need to gain some momentum, this year he hasn't done anything yet, so it would require a bit of working hard to be valuable again, otherwise he is a great player with an injury so plays badly type guy. Look at Neymar, great player, constantly injured. Real doesn't need something like that.

Benzema can not be a best replacement for Ronaldo in any form and even though Benzema is performing well covering that gap that was left and being able to help the team to make a good point in the tournament the fact still remains that Ro also presence is still felt in all the marches most especially in his hatric score mode.
I think it should not be allowed that only one man wins a game, it could ruin the game later on, but I always thought that Real was the team that did not allow that. Every time they've lost someone for health reasons or whatever, their game hasn't changed at all, they've been just as strong and continued to win. They still seem that way to me now
Except on the attackers, I see they always have trouble making goals when Benzema is injured. That has been evident in some Madrid games. Many friends here also said so. So there's one that's missing and it's had a bit of an impact. Even though they have to try to keep winning and optimize the existing players. This is the reason why a club should have several player options. They want to always be strong and win, but sometimes the reality in the game is very different.
Hm, I've certainly noticed, but very rarely, I don't think it has much of an effect. The main thing is that it doesn't fail at the most important moment. Basically Benzema was able to replace Ronaldo who was missing after he left, I'm surprised to see that because it seems impossible to fully replace Ronaldo

Hazard is actually still quite young, isn't he something like 31-32? It is very early to announce that you are leaving the international team. I don't think he will regain his old form at Real Madrid, otherwise you don't say things like that. Maybe it's time for Hazard to leave Real Madrid and see if he can find another club where he can play football. Real Madrid could sell or rent him, but who can afford that? They also need reinforcements if they want to look up.
I think the best move for Hazard could be to return to the English Premier League if he still wants to play European football and compete in the Champions League as well. However I don't know how many teams with such criteria would be eager to sign him now. He is not too old of course but I believe he has already left his good times behind.
His having bad performances and injuries at Real Madrid just brought his career to a very low point. If he doesn't find such team for himself then he should go outside Europe I believe.
He couldn't keep waiting for luck to be on his side and make him back as Caro Ancelloti's first choice.
I would say the same, he'd better find a new club that wants him and get back to his best. But if I have to return to the Premier League, it seems I'm doubtful because the competition there is very competitive and also I haven't heard of any Premier League club wanting to recruit him.
I'll be interested to see how the Barcelona players deal with the pressure after returning (in disgrace) from the World Cup. Spain had 8 players from Barcelona and 2 from Real Madrid, obviously the Barcelona players brought with them the habit of losing important games 
It is interesting whether this will affect their morale and play at the club level or not.
Yes, I am also looking forward to this, will it have a significant effect on their game in Barcelona, if it is true that the Spaniard was affected mentally in the match against Morocco yesterday, it will have a very bad impact on the stability of Barcelona's game, and of course, the La Liga leader will be replaced immediately if that happens. It is interesting whether this will affect their morale and play at the club level or not.Unlike the case with Real Madrid players who only have two representatives, Dani Carvajal and Marco Asensio, of course, this will not affect the players at Real Madrid.
I really hope that Barcelona will be able to start fresh. This does sound like it is quite impossible. But I hope the Barcelona players who played for Spain will be able to forget what happened in the World Cup and start playing well for Barcelona.
Actually, this is great motivation for them to play well in club competitions. They lost against a rather weak opponent in the World Cup and got knocked out. That should be unlimited motivation for them. The thing is the players will choose how they use that emotional drive. They can be sad and cry about what happened in the World Cup. Or they can man up and say that they cannot change the past. But they will have to prove by performing in the future.
One of the major factors in Real Madrid's success is that their squad is very deep. You should just look at their midfield, they have Toni Kroos, Luka Modrić, Fede Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga, and Tchouameni. Even they have a great squad depth in their defense. But the only place they lack is the striker position. If you even consider that they have really good depth in the wing positions, the only place day needs players is the back up to Karim Benzema. So, that is the only reason when Karim Benzema is injured Real Madrid plays really badly because in order to win games team has the score goals and the striker position is the position that creates the goals.

Ancelotti should not be too selfish and confident that Real Madrid do not need an additional striker this season, clearly they do because Benzema will no longer be able to survive unscathed. He's getting older and his performance will drop, that's for sure.Apart from that, Real Madrid may also need to focus on midfielders because some of the players there are also old. Kross and Modric will lose form as they age, so I'm sure Real Madrid will spend a lot of money to get good players from now on and next season.

Hazard has been increasingly eliminated from the Real Madrid first team because his performance has not improved. Eden Hazard has made 70+ appearances for Real Madrid since 2019 but he has only scored 6 goals in all competitions so it is only natural for him to leave Real Madrid in the upcoming transfer window. It doesn't make sense that Real Madrid would keep him, he really fell short of expectations. Last season Hazard only scored 2 goals in 18 appearances in Laliga, that is clearly bad for the Real Madrid striker. According to my prediction, Barcelona is still having a very difficult time getting the title this year, even though for now Barcelona has managed to top the standings and has collected 37 points from the 14 matches that have been played but it cannot be a guarantee that Barcelona will get the title this season, I am also not sure. Barcelona was able to get the European league title, because this season's European league competition is very difficult, because the team playing in the European league this season is a Champions League subscription team,
This season is indeed not an easy season for anyone including Barcelona in two different competitions. Because in La Liga Real Madrid still has more time to get up and get rid of Barcelona who are at the top of the temporary standings. Likewise in the European League, where this season there are more strong teams that make Barcelona have to fight and do everything in order to get a trophy. And of course it won't be easy for Barcelona because their opponents this season in the Europa League are very different.

If he won't move to Juve , then , I guess , he will go in MLS without any question.
Yes, he just decided to retire from the Belgian national team and I think Hazard's career is also almost over at Real Madrid. Hazard did indeed shine with Chelsea, but since joining Madrid with a prolonged injury, the Belgian player has not been able to make much of a contribution. According to the news, Ancelotti has also invited Hazard to look for another club because he is not included in the Don Carlo scheme.
Eden Hazard is quite old so it is natural for him to retire, so far his career has only been good when the match was in 2019 after that he couldn't get any more goals and his contribution to football has decreased again. Maybe he already has a big business. other and no longer focus on the world of football.Hazard will not be giving any impact to the madrid once he leaves from there. He has been going down as a professional player too. He is often getting injured
I think if he wants to keep playing then he has to find a team that is ready to give himself a chance to play and also find a league that is not very competitive.
Barcelona's lead over Real Madrid is no guarantee that they will win the competition. Real Is not at its best in the last phase of the competition. But if you look at that team, there is more class and substance than Barcelona. It will still come down to the mutual confrontation later in Barcelona. Barcelona has actually won many matches with very ugly football and then also with minimal differences. I think that game image has to change, because if you keep winning with minimal differences, then everything has just fallen in the right direction. Benzema will be back in January.
