By the absence of Bale, Madrid must put the expectation to Marco Asensio. The Spanish player has the capability to fill the position left by Bale in Madrid’s attacking line.

Moreover, his collaboration with Madrid main striker, Karim Benzema, is great. Besides Asensio, actually, Madrid could also utilize the talent of Mariano Diaz who just came from Olympique Lyonnais in the 2018 summer transfer market to replace Bale’s role.

After the draw result against Atletico, Madrid must prepare to play against CSKA Moscow in the Champions League this season. Madrid need three points from CSKA to maintain their position in the Group G’s temporary standing.
