It’s a new era of the Galácticos for Real Madrid, with Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo, and Jude Bellingham making up their attack, and the coach with the most UEFA Champions League titles ever, Carlo Ancelotti, guiding them.

Real Madrid had a rough start to the season offensively, with many of their star players not showing up every game or consistently getting on the scoresheet.

This includes Kylian Mbappé, who had a challenging start to his new career in Spain.

However, things are beginning to come together now.

Currently, they sit 16th in the UEFA Champions League standings, which has been quite a difficult campaign for them.

Yet, at the time of writing this, they are first in La Liga with 46 points, just two points ahead of Atlético Madrid in second place.

Kurosh Moghtader examines how the attackers are blending together this season, putting up numbers, and how Carlo Ancelotti’s tactics are helping them succeed.

Over time, England has produced a lot of talent in the central midfield position, including Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, and —more recently—Jude Bellingham.

With Bellingham’s recent success, many teams are looking to find a midfielder who combines a central midfielder and an attacking midfielder.

This player can dominate the midfield and help the team in the final third.

Watching the Belgian Pro League and Westerlo, there is a young British player who fits that mould and is having a very decent season abroad: Alfie Devine.

Jonas Bartsch’s scouting report analyses Spurs’ midfield hope growing at KVC Westerlo.
