If you are a Real Madrid supporter, you have every reason in the world to smile and be very optimistic for next season.

The three offensive positions, if we assume that Ancelotti will continue with a 4-4-2 diamond, are occupied by Bellingham, Vinicius Jr and Mbappé who will automatically start.

Lined up as a false 9 with his national team; a repositioning low enough on the pitch could allow him to play more regularly, he who has the technical and creative qualities to play in midfield. A headache for Ancelotti all the same…
