It's weird to see them so quiet, but it's good to see them falling off, Madrid in transition leaving us a good path to CL trophy.
Unless they buy the world in the last week
They've laid a damn good foundation for the next decade, and silently keep pushing youngsters into the fold so I see relatively good success coming to them despite Ronaldo leaving. They haven't bought big in years and actually don't need to:
-In GK they have 19 year old super-promising Lunin to take the gloves from 30-yo Navas in a few years
-In RB they have youngster Odriozola (21) to cover for in-prime Carvajal (26)
-In CB Varane is nearing his absolute prime at 25 with impressive performances in the WC, with Vallejo able cover at 21
-In LB Marcelo is still the best LB in the world at 30 with still only 20-year-old Hernandez able cover
-In CM Casemiro is still nearing his prime at 26, Kovacic is still only 24, Kroos is in his prime at 28 and promising Ceballos is 21
-In attack Asensio is 22, Isco 26 and Vicinius is just 18. Bale is still fantastic at 29 but fragile.
The only sense of urgency in the future I see is in ST.
