Hazard finally makes his Madrid debut. Will be interesting to see what he can provide to this Madrid side. Good signing on paper.

They have. The old core are not the difference makers.

The team is poor as I said and all these heralded players are miles off the ones being replaced.

Was made out as if Real had it all under control and building team to take over.

Was never remotely close to that and signings been vastly over rated.

Madrid still do this thing they did when they had Ronaldo. That's all Zidane knows vs an organized defense. Wide and spam crosses like David Moyes.

Team is fine considering you can't compete with the Prem spending 200 in one window every year.
Missing particular types of player i.e. proper version of Hazard, Odegaard opening spaces and a mobile striker to increase the margin of error. Defense is quality albeit dependent on Ramos and will take some time, maybe few months, maybe a year, to get over departure of Ramos once it does happen.

We've balanced out lack of threat in attack by putting in best defensive season in 40 years. Now it's time to take the next step and improve upfront. But Zidane doesn't like 2 strikers and has too many wingers. So we'll either improve or pay for it.
