On May 18, Beijing time, in the second leg of the Champions League semifinals, Real Madrid lost 0-4 to Manchester City and missed the final! This means that the Galaxy Battleship needs to undergo a major change as soon as possible to have a chance to regain its glory in the future.
Real Madrid won La Liga and the Champions League last season and look to be at their peak. However, that was too much of a reliance on Benzema's anti-heavenly performance, and now, the galloping horse is a year older, at 35 years old, and his form is inevitably declining.
At the same time, Modric is 37 years old and Toni Kroos is 33 years old - all three will have contracts with Real Madrid expire after the end of this season, basically all of them will be renewed for another year, but their golden age is also coming to an end.
The four-goal defeat in the second leg proved that there is a big gap between Real Madrid, which has lost its metaphysical aura, and Manchester City, and if it wants to make a comeback, it must be determined to start a big change.
At the back, Varane and Ramos left at the same time last summer, and apart from Militão, Antonio Rudiger and Alaba, Real Madrid should continue to look for world-class centre-backs, and Camavinga always plays as a left-back.
In midfield, despite Camavinga and Joan Armeni, the replacement will continue, with England midfielder Bellingham being the main target for Real Madrid this summer. And in the single back position, Casemiro also lacks a real successor.
Up front, Real Madrid will focus on 2024 and strive to win Mbappe and Haaland at the same time! At that time, they will form a forward trident with Vinicius, and Benzema's historical mission can be regarded as completed.
In addition, there is another question: will Ancelotti leave class? Despite his achievements, despite his age, perhaps Real Madrid should hire a younger, more modern manager.
