da lvbet: Carlo Ancelotti's side are eyeing a historic double, with the Englishman surrounded by a sublime supporting cast
da betcris: This was supposed to be a difficult season for Real Madrid. With Karim Benzema gone and no Kylian Mbappe to replace him, Carlo Ancelotti's side were expected to go through something of a transitional season. Instead, they have regained La Liga's title and are favourites to win a 15th European Cup after reaching the Champions League final.
Many players have stepped up to make this such a memorable campaign at Santiago Bernabeu. Vinicius Jr has stepped up in the biggest moments, Jude Bellingham has enjoyed a debut season to remember while the soon-to-retire Toni Kroos has rolled back the years in midfield.
With that in mind, GOAL has rated every Real Madrid player's performance this season to figure out who should win the club's Player of the Season award…

In December, Alaba became the third Madrid player this season to tear his ACL and missed the remainder of the campaign. The versatile Austrian was a big loss, even if Los Blancos coped admirably without him.

Why did he sign a new contract? Ceballos has barely had a kick this season, only given opportunities in the dead-rubber contests after Madrid secured the title, and he's looked off the pace in those fixtures. He'd probably be better off somewhere else come the start of 2024-25.

What can really be said about Kepa? He was supposed to be the replacement for the injured Thibaut Courtois. However, the occasional shaky moment saw him lose his starting spot mid-season. A failed loan move – at best.

Militao has done well just to be back on the pitch before the end of the campaign. given he lasted just 49 minutes of Madrid's season opener before rupturing his ACL. Since returning he has looked well off the pace, which is what you'd expect. Fitness for the Copa America is likely his priority at this point.
