Karim Benzema

Carlo Ancelotti has finally unlocked Vinicius' potential by honing his finishing skills and the Brazilian is now pushing Hazard for the left wing starter's spot.

Bale and Hazard accompanied Benzema in the opening game of the season, but Madrid's upcoming stars haven't earned their place, notes Alfredo Relaño.

Ancelotti's first line-up featured the recently-returned Bale with Eden Hazard alongside Karim Benzema in the 1-4 win over Alavés, writes Alfredo Relaño.

The downfall of France, who had been the favourites in the eyes of both the professional observer and the betting houses, has one culprit for French fans.

With no Real Madrid players in the Spain squad, madridistas have been following players in other teams at Euro 2020 - especially Bale and Hazard.
