Following the 4-0 triumph over Girona, Carlo Ancelotti praised his pupil Vinicius as the best player in the world at the moment. Of the four goals Los Blancos scored, Vinicius contributed with 1 goal and 2 assists.

When asked about who would follow Vinicius if the Brazilian forward is the best in the world, Ancelotti didn't mention Kylian Mbappe. Instead, he included Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo in the positions right behind Vinicius. While acknowledging Mbappe's excellence and the possibility of him joining Real Madrid, Ancelotti focused on discussing the current players of the club.

Ancelotti described the coordination of the trio Vinicius - Bellingham - Rodrygo in the victory against Girona as perfect. Since the legendary trio of Benzema - Ronaldo - Bale in the past, especially in the 2018 Champions League final, Real Madrid fans are now witnessing a new, equally formidable trio.

Real Madrid is flourishing thanks to the trio of Vinicius, Bellingham and Rodrygo

Since Benzema's departure, Ancelotti entrusted the responsibility to Vinicius, Rodrygo (both 23 years old), and Bellingham (20 years old). While Vinicius and Rodrygo impressed in the 2021-2022 Champions League campaign, they were not considered prolific goal-scorers. As for Bellingham, despite an impressive stint at Dortmund, there were doubts about his goal-scoring capabilities after his arrival at Bernabeu.

In the Girona match, Real Madrid's new trio showcased outstanding statistics, highlighting their brilliance. Apart from Vinicius's 1 goal and 2 assists, he successfully completed 5 dribbles, made 3 key passes, and contributed to dangerous situations. Bellingham boasted a remarkable 94% passing accuracy with a double assist. Rodrygo added 1 goal and 1 successful dribble.

For Rodrygo, the Brazilian forward had to put in a lot of effort to regain form, responding to his coach's trust. The image of the Brazilian forward hugging Ancelotti after scoring conveyed a lot of emotions.

A minor issue for Real Madrid is that, from the start of the season, the Vinicius - Bellingham - Rodrygo trio has only started together 12 times. One of the reasons is Vinicius missing 11 matches due to injury. If the Brazilian forward avoids such misfortune, the attacking prowess of Los Blancos could be even more significant. Currently, Bellingham leads the goal-scoring chart with 20 goals and 8 assists. Vinicius has 12 goals and 7 assists, while Rodrygo has 13 goals and 7 assists.

Up to this point, Real Madrid's new trio has scored 45 goals. They still have a way to go to match the numbers of the previous trio. In their worst season as BBC (2016-2017), they scored 70 goals. However, Real Madrid now not only has Vinicius, Bellingham, and Rodrygo but also Joselu (12 goals, 4 assists) and Brahim Diaz (7 goals, 3 assists) in their arsenal. Overall, the collective strength of Real Madrid remains formidable against any opponent.

Bellingham has become the fastest player to score 15 goals for Real Madrid in the first season. He also ranks sixth in the list of players with the most goals for Los Blancos in their debut season. It's worth noting that Bellingham still has many matches to potentially break Ronaldo de Lima's record.

Answering reporters after defeating Girona, Ancelotti was asked whether he had found a new trident for Real Madrid. The seasoned coach just smiled and replied, hoping the media would come up with a dangerous and more powerful image for comparison.
