Real Madrid has pulled up a great start this season, recording 5 wins ad 1 draw so far, with Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior proving to be unstoppable strikers. Once again, the duo had a comeback to beat Valencia on Sunday after Vinicius Junior levelled the scoreboard and Benzema sealed the 3points with the last goal (making it 285 goals for Real Madrid) in favor of the Los Blancos.

Real Madrid has scored 16 goals this season (in both Laliga and champions league) with Vinicius Junior displaying a great performance as he is directly involved in 10 goals and scoring6.

Benzema on the other hand, has scored 6 goals and made 4 assist. As at my time of writing, Benzema has scored 285 goals for Real Madrid making him the fourth highest-ever goal scorer of the club, standing behind Cristiano Ronaldo (451), Raul Gonzalez (323) and Alfredo Di Stefano (308).

Another youngster we’ve seen in Los Blancos side is Eduardo Camavinga. Although the Frenchman is yet to start a game, but he has played 3 games in 10 days and he is constantly making positive impacts in each of those matches. Camavinga has played just 57 minutes for Real Madrid, but in that time Los Blancos have scored five goals and not conceded any. He scored a goal six minutes into his debut against Celta Vigo. At the champions league game against Inter Milan, He was introduced at the second half of the game when the both team were on a goalless draw, he gave the assist as Madrid score their late winning goal. Also Madrid was losing 1-0 against Valencia before he came in from the bench and they won 2-1

Ancelotti has explained the reasons behind his tactics that has given his side favorable results. For Valencia he said "We didn't defended well and weren't aggressive, always [moving] back, back, back,"

"When this happens, they can have a cross and score.

"Valencia were very tired. So, I sent fresh legs (Camavinga and Rodrygo) onto the pitch and we gained control of the game."

Against inter Milan,

"I thought about bringing on Hazard in the second half, but when Inter packed out the centre so much I decided to bring on players to use down the flanks, like Rodrygo and Vinicius," he said

"I am living my honeymoon at Real Madrid. I hope to stay for many years," he told Rai Radio.

"Like everyone else, we started with some difficulties, but we have a great spirit and we managed to make corrections during the games based on our character."

Ancelotti believes LaLiga Santander will still be an interesting league irrespective of the departure of stars

"LaLiga lost great players [in the summer], but there are others who are coming through now," he said. “One of them is our very own Vinicius. We are very encouraged and we have started the season well."

Then Ancelotti gave his opinion on a World Cup being held every two years.

"Play the World Cup every two years? Well, while we're at it, let's just play one a year,"

"The schedules are a very serious problem. Something has to change. There are games that make little sense.

"FIFA and UEFA should talk about it. It is true that at this moment perhaps they do not agree with each other much, but the pressure on the players is too high."

Finally, he spoke about his hope for Roma and Milan as he admits his attachment with both teams. "I really hope that Roma can win with Mou, and I expect the same from Milan, because they are two teams which I am very attached to."
