On June 4, Real Madrid made Benzema’s departure to Arabia official. The Frenchman had one more year on his contract, but he asked to leave so he could go to the Arab country, given the great financial offer he received. After losing the League and falling in the Champions League semi-finals against City, the Madrid fans were crying out for a renowned striker to be able to compete this season. Haaland and Mbappé were impossible, so the name that was most popular was Kane.
Florentino, after knowing that Kane’s signing would be around 100 million, decided not to invest it, waiting one more year for his great dream, Mbappé. Real Madrid went to the market for a forward that no one included in the pools, Joselu. The Spaniard arrived on loan from Espanyol, recently relegated, and among the Madrid fans they feared the worst, since the white team had lost, between goals and assists, 37 participations in goals with the departure of Benzema.
That great signing did not arrive, but after spending more than two thirds of the season, among Real Madrid fans no one remembers Benzema’s goals. After the Frenchman’s departure, the goal is more distributed, since no player has stood out as the top scorer, as Benzema was. The goal is more distributed and between Bellingham, Vinicius, Brahim, Rodrygo and Joselu, they have managed to make the absence of the Al Ittihad attacker forget.
Ancelotti’s team accumulates an average of 2.23 goals per game this season, while in the previous season it stood at 2.08. Not only has the white team managed to maintain the scoring average it had under Benzema, but it is even surpassing it. At the start of the season, Bellingham was the player who managed to see the goal the most, while now it is Vinicius who is the best in front of goal. The midfielders and especially the defense, with Rüdiger and Carvajal at the helm, have come together to make up for the Frenchman’s loss.

At Madrid they have managed to take on the departure of the French striker.
