2. Gone are the days for solo, it's a team- team situation
In a recent interview with Daily Mail, Gareth Bale spoke about post-Ronaldo Madrid, he said, "it's maybe a bit more relaxed, yes. I suppose there is more of a team, more working as one unit rather than one player."
As always the fans reacted badly online against Bale with floods of tweets emerging aimed at the Welshman however, his claims cannot be completely discounted with the performance against AS Roma in the champions league. The team's style looked more towards complementing each and every player and getting the best out of them.
Another reason can be seen in Karim Benzema's return to goalscoring form. The French striker was written off last season by a large proportion of fanbase and also across media by pundits and his resurgence demonstrates the progress that Real Madrid is making as a team.
