With the best midfield in the world around him.
Dzeko>Mercedes Benz
. Have you actually seen Benzema play? The guy has way more skill than Dzeko, the only thing that Dzeko is superior to Benzema is his finishing.
Take a second about the midfield thingie there byrone
barcelona is fielding the same midfield for a few years now, whilst real madrids is just forming, and they havent seen the best of kaka yet.
when they lost the derby, its clear they werent quite in form, with an unfit ronaldo to complement it.
strongest is very relative, as barcelona has the best offensive midfield, yet got completely owned by inter's last year, so the balance is off.
i'm convinced if they keep kaka, that madrid can have a better balanced team, when all midfielders are in form.
about the striker, well if you have one of the best midfields in the world behind you, packed with players who all want to have the ball, what us is it to have a forward that also wants to feel the ball ?
just remember what happened when they sold morientes to monaco, in favor of raul-ronaldo frontline, only to get axed the same season by that very monaco, by that very morientes.
a team with a midfield like barcelona, madrid, dont really need that complete striker, they need the one who scores the most.
think back at the semi in camp nou. completely against a wall of inter players, their football was completely blocked. then you need the poacher, he will grab you the points.
if they had trezeguet prime in the semi's, barcelona would have won the CL with ease last year.
as for juventus, if we have an SS who is creative and can hold the ball, we dont really need a very complete forward, a good poacher will do; and much better
