Real Madrid’s squad may no longer see major reinforcements, as Florentino Pérez noted before the transfer window closed. But based on their performance at the start of the season, it’s clear the squad is firing on all cylinders. Ten different players have scored across just four matches — a testament to the club’s impressive depth and tactical flexibility.

Both AS and Marca highlighted this in recent coverage. AS pointed out that 21 of Real Madrid’s 24 first-team players have already appeared this season. Marca added that 10 players have found the back of the net. Of the three players yet to make an appearance, Keylor Navas and Fábio Coentrão are recovering from injuries, while Yáñez serves as the third-choice goalkeeper. In other words, manager Zinedine Zidane has nearly exhausted his entire roster — and it’s paying off.

Carlo Ancelotti’s downfall at Madrid was partly due to his reluctance to rotate players, while Rafa Benítez rotated frequently but often without a coherent system. Zidane, on the other hand, has struck the perfect balance. He avoids rigid lineups, but doesn’t rotate simply for the sake of change — his approach is measured and strategic.

In the first three rounds of La Liga, only Kiko Casilla and Sergio Ramos have played every minute. Key players like Gareth Bale and Toni Kroos have been subbed off, while Marcelo, Casemiro, and Dani Carvajal have even been rested entirely. Including the UEFA Super Cup, Madrid has scored 13 goals in their first four competitive matches this season. Unlike past seasons when scoring revolved around the BBC trio (Bale, Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo), this year’s team spreads the attacking threat across the pitch.

The 10 scorers include Asensio, Ramos, Carvajal, Bale, Kroos, Morata, Ronaldo, Danilo, Pepe, and Modrić. Of these, Asensio, Bale, and Ramos each have two goals, tying for the top scorer spot at this stage of the campaign.

Compared to last season, Zidane’s system clearly boosts offensive output. Under Benítez, it took 17 matches before a 10th unique scorer appeared. Zidane’s Real Madrid has hit that milestone in just four — talk about hitting the ground running. Jeetbuzz App Download followers can expect fireworks this season if this form continues.
