There is no shortage of options for Carlo Ancelotti in the Real Madrid attack this season, but which of the stars will be the star?
One of Real Madrid’s many qualities is that it is a galactic club, which brings together a group of great stars all playing for its shirt at the same time. And the 2024/25 season marks another galactic era for Los Blancos, who in addition to having Vinícius Júnior and Jude Bellingham, two of the main candidates for the Ballon d’Or , also signed Kylian Mbappé.
Oh, but we must not forget Rodrygo! Also decisive in the Champions League, the jewel who arrived from Santos several years ago wants to prove his worth as a protagonist in this campaign. And as long as Real Madrid achieves – most likely – more victories than defeats, individualities will also appear in the team managed by Carlo Ancelotti.
An inevitable debate will be about who is Real Madrid’s best player. The answer will come game by game, goal by goal or assist by assist. Daily Stand will be following this journey closely, and always updating the achievements of the Merengues’ galactic attacking quartet.
4. Jude Bellingham
The English star, who had a spectacular start to last season, remains a big name in the team. Capable of playing in midfield or as a striker, he provided the assist for Mbappe’s 2-0 winner over Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup. In the current season, we are likely to see him further back on the pitch, which could eventually lead to a decrease in his number of goals scored.

3. Kylian Mbappé
The big signing of the season showed his worth on his debut, scoring against Atalanta. However, Mbappé is still looking to fit in better with his new team. The big challenge will be to live up to the huge expectations now that he plays for the club that has always been his dream.

2. Rodrygo
The first pages of the season for Real Madrid have Rodrygo as one of the main protagonists, precisely the striker who has received the least attention among the starters. Playing more on the right wing, the former Santos player scored a goal in the debut against Mallorca, and assisted Fede Valverde to open the scoring in the 3-0 victory over Valladolid. He has been a constantly dangerous piece in the attack of the team coached by Carlo Ancelotti.

1. Vinícius Junior
A key player for the team last season, which culminated in Champions League and La Liga titles, Vinícius Júnior began the 2024/25 campaign as Madrid’s main assist man in the opening matches. Wearing the number 7 shirt, he set up Fede Valverde to open the scoring in the 2-0 win over Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup, and in the following match, on the first day of La Liga, he assisted Rodrygo to score in the away draw against Mallorca. Vini remains as creative and decisive as ever.
