1. Real Madrid
Although it has been an awkward start to the season for Real Madrid’s forward players, they have the advantage of having a proven working unit, something that Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona are still developing.
Cristiano Ronaldo will have to wait until October for his first La Liga goal of the season for the first time since moving to Spain, though that has largely been about suspension rather than poor form on the Portuguese player’s part. He remains the game’s greatest all-round attacking force.
Equally, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema have not had their problems to seek in the opening weeks of the season, but both will surely prove their world-class talents in the months ahead – that is if they can displace Sergio Asensio and Lucas Vazquez.
