Real Madrid and the deadlock against RB Leipzig

The 1-1 draw was enough for Real Madrid to overcome RB Leipzig and win a ticket to the quarter-finals of the 2023/24 Champions League. Before that, the Royal Spanish team only won 1-0 away from home against Germany’s representative. 

It is understandable that Real Madrid’s attackers “save goals” against their opponents, because since Karim Benzema left, Carlo Ancelotti has not found a high-class striker to replace him. That’s not to mention how “lucky” Benzema really is when playing in the European arena.

While RB Leipzig played a very good match with 20 shots launched, Los Blancos showed their limitations with only 11 threats on the opponent’s goal. Real’s strikers were completely unlucky, until Vinicius Junior was able to break the deadlock.

Anyway, the final victory also helped Real Madrid get a ticket to the quarterfinals, but it was also a wake-up call for the Spanish Royal team. Because, they need to accelerate and be more determined in the deal to recruit Kylian Mbappe.

Kylian Mbappe is really important to Real Madrid

Looking at Real Madrid’s attack, we can see that the Kylian Mbappe deal could become the contract of the century for Florentino Perez, although everything is currently only on paper. Many sources said that Real Madrid has found a home for Mbappe, preparing a journey to welcome the French striker to Madrid. 

The leadership of Paris Saint-Germain, specifically the president of this team, also clearly confirmed that PSG is aiming to build the next generation, and life without Kylian Mbappe is in their calculations. So, what does Mbappe’s move to Real Madrid really mean?

First, it can be seen that Real’s leadership sees Mbappe as the most reasonable replacement for Karim Benzema, a striker with top-rated scoring performance. Since Benzema left, Real’s striker only Vinicius Junior has shown effectiveness.

This season, the Brazilian striker has scored 15 goals and contributed 6 assists in all competitions for Los Blancos. However, compared to what Mbappe did at PSG, many Real fans would be “craving”. Mbappe scored 34 goals and contributed 4 assists for the home team at Parc des Princes. This number is more than double that of Vinicius and certainly, if the 1998 talent is in the squad, Real Madrid’s attack will be even more elegant with a more “destructive” goal-scoring style. 

If it weren’t for the outstanding brilliance of Jude Bellingham, the English star started out as a midfielder but was playing in an attacking position and contributed many goals to Real (20 goals, 7 assists). , Carlo Ancelotti’s army will probably be even more difficult and arduous.

Having said that, Kylian Mbappe is the difference for Real Madrid. Once you have a “desk maker” born in 1998 in your squad, the Spanish Royal Football Team’s attack project will definitely “turn into a dragon”.
