The new era at the Santiago Bernabéu has begun under Xabi Alonso, Crickex Affiliate found that Real Madrid’s attack has been completely reshaped around three stars — Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Jr., and Arda Güler. Regardless of whether Alonso opts for a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation, these three form the core of his strategy and have earned his full trust. So far in the 2025–26 season, Real Madrid have scored 26 goals in 10 matches across La Liga and the Champions League — averaging an impressive 2.6 goals per game and showing one of Europe’s most lethal attacks.

Crickex Affiliate highlights that Mbappé, Vinícius, and Güler have been directly involved in 85% of Real Madrid’s goals this season. Leading the charge as the central striker, Mbappé has been nothing short of sensational — netting 9 goals and 2 assists in 8 La Liga games and adding another 5 goals in 2 Champions League outings. That’s a total of 14 goals and 2 assists in just 10 matches. Vinícius, regaining his rhythm, has chipped in with 5 goals and 4 assists in the league, while Güler, the creative spark Alonso favors in the attacking midfield role, has contributed 3 goals and 4 assists in all competitions.

Out of Real Madrid’s 26 goals so far, 22 have come from this attacking trio — a staggering 85% share. Their chemistry is undeniable: Güler’s 4 assists have all gone to Mbappé, while half of Vinícius’s assists have also set up the French superstar, with one delivered to Güler. Crickex Affiliate notes that Alonso has carefully fine-tuned their interplay, using Güler as a dynamic playmaker to link midfield transitions and unleash Mbappé’s pace and finishing instinct. The Turkish youngster’s vision and timing have become key to Madrid’s fluid attacking rhythm.

Among the trio, Mbappé is in the form of his life. Spanish outlet AS reports that if the Frenchman maintains his current scoring rate of 1.4 goals per game and plays around 60 matches, he could reach a historic milestone of 80 goals this season — a figure that would shatter Cristiano Ronaldo’s legendary single-season record of 61 goals for Real Madrid in 2014–15. Even if Mbappé maintains a steady one goal per game across the remaining fixtures, he would surpass Ronaldo’s total, firmly etching his name into the club’s history books.

Crickex Affiliate also notes that Real Madrid’s “big three” carried their form into international duty during the recent FIFA break. Mbappé starred for France with a goal and an assist in their win over Azerbaijan, Vinícius produced a dazzling performance with a goal and an assist in Brazil’s 5–0 rout of South Korea, and Güler continued his rise with one goal and two assists in Turkey’s 6–1 thrashing of Bulgaria.

As Alonso continues to refine his attacking philosophy, this trio is quickly becoming one of the most feared combinations in world football. If Mbappé keeps firing and his teammates maintain their growing synergy, Real Madrid could be on the brink of rewriting scoring history once again — proving that under Alonso’s vision, Los Blancos never stop evolving.
