Five things Real Madrid need to do next season

Make the centre-forwards play more:

Karim Benzema should get more playing time to prove his worth

They say centre-forwards are the first to lose confidence. Make them play the full ninety minutes, and they will perform. Benzema has the ability; his finishing and technique are world-class and he has a calmer head on his shoulders as compared to Higuain. Give him playing time and he will deliver; and Morata can serve as the backup. Do they really need Suarez or Cavani?

Most importantly, the club has reached a juncture where they don’t want to win the Champions league anymore, they need to win it. That mentality needs to be done away with. Suddenly, the league is not good enough, impressive performances are not appreciated and domestic cups are almost an insult to that trophy cabinet. Yes, it is Real Madrid, but every victory is important and crucial. La Decima will happen. It is inevitable. But it shouldn’t harm the club. At the end of the day, 10 is just a number.
