3 Reasons why Real Madrid can win the UEFA Champions League this season

#3 An attack which can lead them to glory

Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior have been Real Madrid's best players this season

Real Madrid's attack comprises of Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale, Lucas Vazquez, Mariano and the young starlet Vinicius Junior.

They may not be world class players but, on their day, they can be quite dangerous. In fact, with Vinicius's pace and Benzema's positioning, they can open up any defence. In recent weeks, Vazquez and Vinicius have been preferred over Bale and Asensio as they track back and defend also. Vinicius's direct style has made him a fan favourite. With four goals and six assists this season, the eighteen-year-old Brazilian is improving day by day and has finally started to justify his €45 mil Euro price tag.

Lucas Vazquez is Solari's favourite player. Recently, he scored the opener in a 1-1 away draw in El Clasico. His versatility means that he can also be deployed as a wingback or as a wide midfielder. With his hard work and tenacity, he has become a key cog in this Real Madrid attack. Starting ahead of Bale underlines his importance to the team.

After the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema has been the focal point in attack. His performances have significantly improved. His growing partnership with Vinicius Junior is worth noting. It seems as if they had been playing together for years. They have combined multiple times to score some beautiful goals. Benzema often considers himself a 'striker' with the soul of a 'playmaker'. His intelligent runs, link-up play, and his ability to hold onto the ball could prove to be very useful in the latter stages of the Champions League when Real would face the top teams of Europe.

Having substitutes like Gareth Bale and Marco Asensio is a luxury only Real Madrid could afford. In the 2018 Champions League final, Bale reminded everybody that it may be too early to write him off. He has the potential to kill a game anytime, as he demonstrated in the 3-1 win against Atletico at the Wanda Metropolitano.

Marco Asensio also scored a winner of his own in the 2-1 win over Ajax. Mariano hasn't been given many opportunities this season but when given one, he would love to make the most of it and show why he has inherited the famous no '7' jersey. And, of course, never forget Sergio Ramos in stoppage time.

In a single match or a two-legged tie, Real have shown time and time again that they can beat anyone. Now, whether are they capable enough of lifting another European Cup, only time will tell.
