Xabi provides balance, Cristiano destroys
1). Has Ancelotti finally found a balance?
Since the Italian arrived at Real Madrid he has been looking for players in midfield to balance his side to free up the forwards and provide more cover for the defence. The Alonso-Khedira-Modric trio seems to be the best, or perhaps the only solution.

2). How does the 'Cristiano Bernabéu' sound to you?
Now that Florentino is looking for multinational companies to sponsor the stadium, perhaps the name that would best fit the ground is 'Cristiano'. If Alfonso Pérez has a stadium named after him, there should at least be one that bears Ronaldo's name.

3). Has Karim Benzema stopping being a sleeping giant?
This could well be down to Zidane, or to the fact that he has lost a bit of weight or even because Grand Theft Auto V is out, but Benzema has certainly upped his game. With two lethal wide men like Cristiano and Bale, Madrid needs a centre-forward who can play as a number 10 and can drop deep. Benzema is providing Özil's assists and is scoring Higuaín's goals, but from fewer chances.

4). Ancelotti's 4-3-3 formation. Is there a place for Isco and Di María?
The answer is easy: on the bench. Di María plays in Bale's position and the Welshman is twice as tall, as fast, as strong, produces more goals and is better than 'El Fideo'. There is no debate. Isco can play behind the striker or as a second striker, but it just so happens that these positions do not exist in a 4-3-3. In light of this it seems he was an unnecessary signing.
