What are you talking about? Real Madrid won two league titles and a CL after Ronaldo’s departure. The only season which they really struggled was the one right after he left. There was no 5 year process like you see with Arsenal or Liverpool. Madrid, Bayern, and City are probably the only 3 clubs in world football that have achieved a sustained period of winning in the past several years
For those who think Bellingham is overrated, what exactly are his weaknesses? The only glaring one that I can think of is he’s not really a controller like a Kroos or Xavi, but that’s probably due to the position that Ancelotti is playing him this season. If Madrid sign a world-class striker next season, and Bellingham goes back to his usual midfield position, we’ll probably see him focus more on controlling the game. Maybe you can argue his technique/eye test is overrated, but technique doesn’t really matter if you’re producing results on the pitch

He would have gotten way more assists this season if the attackers around him could finish. Vini has been pretty much injured to start this season, Rodrygo has only started picking up form in the last few weeks, and Joselu is a donkey
