#3 Gareth Bale

Gareth Bale's performance in La Liga game week 2 was not the best of his performances we've seen in a Real Madrid shirt. Yet these are practical performances that Ancelotti will take any day, in an effort towards reviving the Welsh superstar's career at the club.

Not too bad a finish from the golfer, some would say, as he makes a return to the La Liga giants after a fruitful season with Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League. Bale scored the goal that gave Real Madrid the lead after a quick linkup with Karim Benzema inside Levante's penalty area. He will hope this is a sign of things to come as he re-ignites his career back at Real Madrid and hopes to return to his prime goalscoring days.


#2 Isco

Possibly the best sixty minutes he's played in a Real Madrid shirt, Isco put in a standout performance in Real Madrid's second La Liga game of the season against Levante.

Isco delivered standout numbers for his dribbling (as he was placed 1st across match stats for dribbles won), ball touches and a remarkable 98% pass accuracy in the match. In fine form at the moment, he has started to define Real Madrid's attacking identity while moving the ball forwards.


#1 Vinícius Júnior

Fans have wondered for a long time when the teenage sensation from Brazil will start to deliver on his potential. In past seasons, we have only seen glimpses such as in Real Madrid's game against Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League. In that match, the Brazilian scored a brace which was enough to seal qualification for the next round.

With another brace to equalize in the match against Levante, Vinícius Júnior now has 3 goals in two La Liga matches in the new season. This could finally mark a season where he finds goals more consistently and helps his team mount a title challenge.

He could be primed to do so with a lethal Karim Benzema at his aide, alongside Gareth Bale, who seems to be in fine form. A potentially awe-inspiring last minute arrival of Real Madrid's top interest - Kylian Mbappe - would mean Vinícius Júnior could thrive in the company of such talented forwards.
