According to Madrid Universal, these players will start for Real Madrid next season.

Kylian Mbappe

Mbappe arrived at the Bernabeu this summer after a long wait. Of course, Mbappe cannot sit on the bench, but Rodrygo Goes, another top player, will likely have to give up his starting spot.

Mbappe scored 44 goals in all competitions last season, and he will be a welcome addition to the White Vultures’ assault, especially without a central striker. Very classy.

Vinius Junior

Vinicius’ place is unlikely to be endangered by Mbappe’s ability to play in the middle, even if both players are left wings. The Brazilian sensation outperformed Mbappe last season and is a strong Golden Ball possibility.

If they gel, Vinicius and Mbappe will be a “nightmare” for European defences.

Jude Bellingham

Bellingham has exceeded supporters’ expectations in his first season with Real, and he is a potential Golden Ball candidate like Vinicius.

Bellingham plays like a top midfielder in every Real encounter, although being less dynamic than earlier in the season. Many sources predict that Bellingham will play lower and as a true central midfielder next season.

Antonio Rudiger

After struggling after arriving to the Bernabeu, Rudiger found stability last season and produced his greatest season.

Rudiger has emerged as Real’s best midfielder and backline stopper amid a defensive injury crisis. Real plans to sign Leny Yoro and Rafa Marin as midfielders, but they won’t be able to challenge the German star next season.

Thibaut Courtois

Courtois’s performance in the Champions League final versus Dortmund helped Real win despite missing more than half the season due to ACL and MCL injuries. However, many supporters anticipated Andriy Lunin would stand in the wooden goal.

Carlo Ancelotti started Courtois in the Champions League final despite Lunin’s good play. This definitely supports Courtois’s current position.
