4. Real Madrid’s squad is young and still hungry

Real Madrid’s squad is, for the most part, young and fruitful. In the attack, Bale is just getting started and Benzema is hitting his prime years.

The midfield is just starting their reign as Marco Asensio is 21, Isco still just 25 Toni Kroos only 27, and Modric is still in his prime. The two defensive midfielders in Casemiro and Llorente are also very young, while Mateo Kovacic is also only 23.

The defense is the same as the midfield where Marcelo in his late 20s are still their primes as well.

Then you have guys like Theo Hernandez coming in as well as Jesus Vallejo who are both young stars in the making. Rafa Varane will also be a mainstay this season.

Real Madrid’s building with youth, and that’s good to see for Real Madrid’s title chances.
