Real Madrid fans are optimistic about what the future holds for their club. Here are five players who can make the 2020-2021 season one to remember.
The 2019-2020 season under Zinedine Zidane was all about growth for Real Madrid and taking the first steps toward a “Revolution” at the club. Zidane has rebuilt Los Blancos’ defense into a fortress, has gotten the most out of his experienced midfielders, and has a cast of young talent at this disposal across all levels of the team.
If Real Madrid have a glaring weakness, it is in the attack. Yet when Eden Hazard was healthy, Los Merengues dazzled on the offensive end.
With so many star players, it is hard to narrow down who will have the biggest season. But here are five players who can make the upcoming 2020-2021 La Liga and Champions League campaigns memorable for Real Madrid.
CB Raphaël Varane
Raphaël Varane is the best center back in the world, given his accomplishments and big-match experience. In the second half of the 2019-2020 season, Varane was nearly impeccable, making only one error in the Levante game. His offensive contributions against Getafe were crucial, and his defensive work throughout the past few months was exemplary.
The France captain is back to his best under Zidane’s managing after a lost 2018-2019 campaign, returning to world-class form. Varane will once again be the trusty reader and sweeper at the heart of Madrid’s top-notch back four in 2020-2021.
