For years, Karim Benzema led Real Madrid's attack. But last summer, the Frenchman decided to join Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia. At the same time, the Merengues did not recruit a renowned number 9 to replace him. Despite this, the residents of the Santiago-Bernabéu stadium are doing well without the Nueve. They are doing even better than last year.

Indeed, A.S. explains that last season, the Madrilenians had an average of 2.08 goals per match. During this 2023-24 financial year, they are doing better since they have an average of 2.23 goals per match. Jude Bellingham has long been the most efficient in front of goal, he who is now helped by Vinicius Jr, who is now the most effective. Joselu, who is a pure striker, is doing quite well with 13 goals and 3 assists. AS also explains that the supporters are very happy with him. But the numbers don't tell everything and with KB9, Real Madrid would be just as dangerous.
