With Cristiano Ronaldo now gone to Juventus, the Los Blancos needs someone to step up and take the responsibility to lead Real Madrid's attack.

A team with Real Madrid's tenure is expected to score a handful of goals in each fixture, however, they've managed to score just 26 league goals, this season, nearly half as compared to FC Barcelona's 50.

With Karim Benzema struggling for his goal-scoring form for the past few seasons, Gareth Bale was expected to lead the frontline for the Los Blancos. However, his usual affair with the injuries continues as he has failed to take Ronaldo's throne in his absence.

While on the other hand, Marco Asensio said that, "I'm not the one to take charge. There are other players in the club with more experience who should be taking the charge". Clearly, cementing the fact that players are hesitating to step up since Ronaldo's departure.
