This kid is the Pelé or Fernando Hierro of the 21st century. He can play both offense and defense, press, dribble, assist, score, tackle, and lead the entire team.

A crushing machine. Real Madrid, under Mourinho, was on a roll. Thanks to the Setúbal-born coach, the team was completely re-energized competitively, and morale was high throughout the squad. The Santiago Bernabéu Stadium was filled with an undisguised atmosphere of joy. In just five days, Real Madrid secured two consecutive big wins at home: 4-0 against Real Sociedad and 4-0 against Málaga. Two formidable opponents fell before Real Madrid. With their current form, Real Madrid is capable of challenging for every title ahead. Strong collective cohesion, combined with an exceptionally talented squad, will ensure the team continues to rack up victories, mostly by large margins.

I recall that Real Madrid team that set a 100-point record season, scoring 121 goals. The BBC trio spearheaded the attack, Xabi Alonso and Khedira anchored the midfield with energy, and Di María roamed freely on the flanks. That Real Madrid side suppressed Messi and Guardiola's Barcelona and ultimately triumphed. I'm not saying Flick will repeat Guardiola's past mistakes, but it's certain that Real Madrid will not give away points easily to opponents this season. In the three matches played so far this season, the team has conceded only two goals; the foundation of a championship team begins with its defense. Courtois no longer needs to be a hero in every match; the ten warriors in front of him allow the Belgian giant to play more comfortably. Even Vinícius's defensive intensity has reached an unprecedented level. In northern Madrid, a powerful force is rising.

Jude is the true leader. The player who best represents Real Madrid's new golden era is Bellingham. He was the last player to return from vacation, yet he is the one who contributes most actively in defensive support, breaks through defensive lines, and presses relentlessly on the field, having already become the soul of this dream team. Bellingham is Real Madrid's new patriarch. He has continued his dominant form from the World Cup, breaking various historical records for midfielders. Wearing the No. 5 jersey left by Zidane, he has lived up to the shirt with one stunning performance after another, completely captivating the Bernabéu fans. Not only with his magnificent long-range shot that opened the scoring against Málaga, but also with his headed assist for the second goal. This kid is the Pelé or Fernando Hierro of the 21st century. He can play both offense and defense, press and harass, drive the ball forward, deliver assists, score goals, make tackles, and lead the entire team—an all-around warrior.

Towards the end of the match, Mourinho substituted him, and all seventy thousand Real Madrid fans in the stadium rose to their feet to give him a long, warm ovation. The five thousand Málaga fans in the stands also acknowledged, out of respect, the phenomenal performance of this giant from Stourbridge. Hey, Jude!

Twenty players were rotated. Against Espanyol and Real Sociedad, the starting lineup was largely stable. In this match, Mourinho boldly made five changes to the starting XI. Güler, who had the best pre-season performance, was on the bench, and among the six new signings, only Cucurella started, while Camavinga also got playing time. Mourinho does not want to see disappointed faces in the locker room; everyone should feel their importance. When everyone paddles in the same direction, it is easier to reach the finish line of success. Now, the entire team even dines together at the Valdebebas training ground.

The Málaga side coached by Funes gave their all, but trying to compete with this current Real Madrid team is almost an impossible task.
