A trident to dream

To Santiago Bernabeuhistoric president of the club who successfully presided over Real Madrid from 1943 to 1978, he liked to argue that the best thing was to sign players “who would put the Bernabéu on its feet”. That is why he hired Amancio Amaro, from Deportivo de La Coruña, in 1962, as he was a diabolical winger who drove all his rivals crazy in the race. In 1977 he repeated the experience with Juanito, turning the genius from Fuengirola into an iconic and unrepeatable player for the Madrid fans.

Then Florentino Pérez has taken that legacy. He already did it with the Galactics when he reached the Presidency in the year 2000, consecutively signing Figo, Zidane, Ronaldo y Beckhamgenerating an enthusiasm and a universal impact that has remained to be remembered. With the signing of Kylian Mbappé, that desire to show the world the power of seduction of the white shirt will be reissued (which is sweeping sales since the club put on sale on Monday the new kit for next season, the one designed for the French star). Mbappé is the only one who can achieve what Cristiano Ronaldo already achieved in his presentation on July 6, 2009: fill the Bernabéu to the brim.

The Whites’ fans clap their ears just imagining an attack trident with Mbappé, Benzema and Vinicius. In fact, the numbers of the three so far this season venture a few years of goalscoring wealth and a lot of spectacle. Just review what they have done the three to date, achieving more than a hundred goals. The account comes from adding the 44 goals scored by Benzema (he will win the Ballon d’Or if sanity and a sense of justice prevail), the 36 goals scored by Mbappé at PSG (the Frenchman has clearly beaten Messi and Neymar) and the 21 for Vinicius, who has completed his best season against rival goals and knocking down the only wall that separated him from the recognition of both the Whites’ fans and journalistic criticism.

Between the three they have added 101 goals, which will increase the record if we value that Karim and Vini have two games left to play (this Friday against Betis at the Bernabéu, being sure they will be starters, and on the 28th in the Champions League final in Paris against Liverpool) . And Kylian will also be able to increase his private account on Saturday, in what will be his last game with PSG by closing Ligue 1 at the Parc des Princes against Metz. Conclusion: With the arrival of Mbappé, Madrid will have a trident that guarantees a minimum of 100 goals. Brutal.

In it assist chapter They are not far behind either. The galactic future has signed this season at PSG no less than 26 assists, while Vinicius has reached 16 and Benzema 15. In total, between the three they accumulate 57 assists. That means this magical adventure trident an influence against the rival goal of around 160 goalsbetween the stuffed and the dice.

In addition, this trio can rise even more in the World Cup in Qatar. Mbappé and Benzema lead the French National Team, which is the great favorite to win the title in Doha on December 18, while Vini has won the battle with Neymar for the starting role and could be the great revelation of Tite’s Brazil in the match Qatari. If the three make a great World Cup, their price would skyrocket even more, but Madrid would have the peace of mind of having them well tied up. Kylian (23 years old) is going to sign until 2027; Vini (21 years old) is going to renew his contract until 2027; and Karim, who is 34 years old and ends on June 30, 2023, The club will have the offer to continue one more season. “And so until he wants”, as they confirm to AS on the main floor of the club. The moment is drawing near and the fans are biting their nails imagining the guaranteed show they will enjoy at the new and modernized Bernabéu with this trio of stars. More than 100 goals per season. The party continues.
