Presented as Real Madrid coach last June, Carlo Ancelotti promised "beautiful, offensive and spectacular football that will bring happiness to all Madridistas".
A little over three months have passed, and the Italian coach seems to be living up to his promise: the Blancos are leading the Spanish league after six rounds with 16 points, the offense is booming with a huge balance of 21 goals, and yesterday (Wednesday) it has already exploded with a first six since May 2018, defeating 1 : 6 the Mallorca.
If until a few weeks ago the strengthened and tough Atletico Madrid was marked as a leading candidate for a second consecutive championship, now the trend has changed and the Blancos once again look threatening and predatory.
It starts with Karim Benzema, who continues to blossom and appear at its peak.
The French striker scored a double last night, reached 200 goals in the Spanish league and continued his fantastic season opener, in which he stands so far on a balance of 8 goals and 7 assists in 7 appearances in all competitions.

Did not spare the ex: a hat-trick for Asensio, 1: 6 to Real Madrid over Mallorca

"Obviously Benzema is in very good shape," Ancelotti admits, "but his goal balance makes you forget about the wonderful work he does even without the ball. He is a complete player in every possible sense."
The 33-year-old Benzema is in the midst of the best year of his career, and Marca is already adamant that "if the Golden Ball is a serious degree, he must go for it. He is the obvious candidate. At the current point in time, even superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi "We are approaching him. He is perhaps the complete player in the world."
Another who starred last night was Marco Asensio, who scored a wonderful hat-trick.
Ancelotti presented Asensio with a challenge this season, trying to make him a midfielder after years of playing on the wings.
Last night in front of the ex it looked great.
"Asensio is an excellent player who can play several roles," Ancelotti said.
"He does a lot of damage to the rivalry because he knows how to play between lines of defense."
Asensio himself took the ball home and said "I have proved to Carlo that I deserve minutes. I am happy to play for a coach like him, and hope it continues like this."

Either way, with current stars like Benzema, Luca Modric and Casimiro (Ancelotti: "There are a lot of good connections in the world, but no connection that makes a defense like him") and future players like Eduardo Camavinga, Real looks on the right track.
"There is an excellent combination of veterans and youngsters on the staff. The youngsters are very high quality, but experience also plays a very important role in football," explains Ancelotti.
"In any case, we want every player to have a replacement in the squad. Even Karim Benzema. When he is tired, Jovic will come in and be good, I am convinced of that."
