With only 6 points from their first four games, Real Madrid needed a victory over Atalanta in the Champions League to calm their nerves, as they were in 24th place. However, Los Blancos have returned to Madrid in high spirits after their victory by 3-2.
According to Diario AS, there is “enormous enthusiasm” internally at the club. Seeing Vinicius Junior, Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham score for the first time has left Real Madrid with the feeling that Carlo Ancelotti has finally found the formula for success. With Bellingham back in his old role behind the forwards and free to move, the England international is once again on a sensational scoring streak.
Since Bellingham returned to that role against Osasuna, things have changed in the Real Madrid camp, and Ancelotti also believes he has now found his path to success. With Bellingham coming in from deep, Mbappé and Vinicius are also finding more space, as the defense has to worry about all three, compared to when he was wider. While they are aware that they must continue to improve to reach the expected level, they are relieved that they are now seeing steps in the right direction.
One of the things that Real Madrid has been accused of is not showing up against rivals with the quality to hurt them, coming out worse against Barcelona, Liverpool, AC Milan and Athletic Club. In general, they have also struggled to overcome high pressing, but against Atalanta, Los Blancos finally managed to defend themselves with the ball on their backs.
