Pros

Sadio Mane's inclusion has a big advantage in terms of team play. He is a person who adjusts according to the team and sneaks goals. He also brings the best out of his fullbacks. In clutch situations, Mane will come in handy. He can play on both sides of the pitch.

Kylian Mbappe's pace is a need if counter-attacking football is to be played. He is a young man who can continue in his position for almost 10 to 12 years. He is a kid with an eagle eye for goal. His linkup with players in the forward line is good.

Eden Hazard is a person who fits every description of a lethal winger. He can play on both sides of the pitch and among the three creates plenty more chances. His dribbling skills are one to watch out for and he will get Real Madrid the 50 odd goals that Ronaldo used to give them, by either scoring or assisting.

Cons

Mane is perhaps only as good in Liverpool. He took his fair share of time adjusting to Klopp's tactics. Salah's arrival left him at ease to adjust on the left side. The focus of the opposition on Salah and Firmino always helps Mane to sneak away. At Madrid, he will the focal point and the focus will be on him. We cannot say if he can adjust to that.

Ad

Kylian Mbappe, with all due respect, is just 20. This leaves the attack with two youngsters on either flank. Also, Mbappe has never moved out of the comfort zone in France and hasn't been great in Champions League with PSG. When someone like Malcom performed in the Ligue 1 without the quality of PSG's players around him, Mbappe is expected to do that. His numbers might be misleading.

Eden Hazard is the right man for Real Madrid and like Mane gives the option to play on both sides. However, his connection with fullbacks is not exceptional and he rather takes it upon himself to score or create near the box. That is the only thing we can point out on him.
