Attacking midfielder Bellingham shined brightly with the impressive scoring performance of striker duo Vinicius – Rodrygo. The Royal Spanish Football Team is forming a new legendary trio, promising to quickly reach the level of the infamous “trio” including Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo (BBC).

Historical trios

Real Madrid is the team that originated the “identification” of the legendary trio, or “trio”. They can be three players on the 𝔞𝔱𝔱𝔞𝔠𝔨 line or a triangle connecting the lines, creating tremendous strength, bringing many trophies to the home team.

In the 50s of the last century, Los Blancos, Real’s name came from the fans with the trio of Alfredo di Stafano, Francisco Gento and Ferenc Puskas winning the C1 Cup (today’s Champions League) 5 times in a row since 1955. -1960, with countless noble titles, both individually and collectively.

The world of soccer then had many legendary trios produced. For example, the trio of Tostao, Pele, and Jairzinho are the most famous in Brazilian football history. Pele played the role of leader, Tostao acted as a bridge in 𝔞𝔱𝔱𝔞𝔠𝔨, and Jairzinho specialized in performing the final finishing task, scoring 14/19 goals to help Brazil win the 1970 World Cup championship.

Or the trio of Basten, Gullit and Rijkaard together brought the Dutch team to an impressive Euro 1988 championship. After that, this “Flying Dutch” trio became famous on the European football field when they helped AC Milan (Italy) win two consecutive European championships in 1989 and 1990 and many other titles.

Modern football has seen more appearances of the trio. For example, Barcelona (Spain) club, in the period 2005 – 2014, this team produced many trios that left behind many records that have not been broken until now.

Among them, the trio of Iniesta, Xavi and Messi are considered the most successful, winning 14/19 titles in the period 2008-2012. And the highlight is the divine “sixteenth treble” in 2009.

In addition, Barca also has other trios in 𝔞𝔱𝔱𝔞𝔠𝔨 such as Ronaldinho – Eto’o – Messi; Eto’o – Messi – Henry… and Messi – Suarez – Neymar (MSN) are considered the most dangerous, comparable to Real Madrid’s BBC.

After the famous trio of the last century, it took the second decade of this century for Los Blancos to form a new trio, Bale, Benzema and Ronaldo.

According to statistics, in the period 2014 – 2018, the BBC trio played a total of 658 matches, bringing 427 victories as well as 12 major titles for Real Madrid.

Among them, CR7 (who left in 2018) scored a total of 450 goals in all competitions in 9 seasons playing for Real Madrid and Bale (who left in 2022) had 106 goals in all competitions.

Benzema alone ended his contract this summer, scoring a total of 354 goals in all competitions and becoming the second highest scorer in Real Madrid’s history, as well as one of the most successful players in the world. Los Blancos history, including 5 Champions League championships, 5 club world championship cups, 5 La Liga titles , 4 European Super Cups…

Young people

Legendary trios always go hand in hand with success, f𝔞me and money. Therefore, after losing the pillars of the BBC trio, Real Madrid spent a lot of effort and money to recreate a new trio.

Even in difficult financial times, in 2021, President Florentino Perez is still ready to do everything to bring Mbappe and Haaland to the Bernabeu, with Benzema forming an αƚƚαƈƙ triangle. Of course, that didn’t happen and now, it no longer has a chance of becoming a reality. Haalan flourished at Man City and the French striker left.

There were times when Los Blancos seemed successful with Benzema, Bale and Eden Hazard, with contracts worth up to 100 million euros. However, Bale lost form and the Belgian striker played erratically and then left in disappointment. Or Benzema, Vinicius and Asensio in the 2022 season also promise to form a new trio. But the legendary shirt is too big for Asensio.

The Spanish player faded in the 2023 season, and landed at PSG on a free transfer. However, Los Blancos’ efforts to shape the new trio in recent years have brought a positive outlσσk, which is the maturity of young players.

Last June, when spending 103 million euros to recruit Bellingham (born in 2003) from Dortmund, Real Madrid only wanted to build a squad for a long-term vision and the presence of the English midfielder combined with Camavinga ( 2002) and Tchouameni (2000) gradually replaced the veteran generation, such as Luka Modric (1985), Toni Kroos (1990)…

However, Bellingham 𝔰𝔲ddenly shined brightly, bre𝔞king and setting many scoring records. For example, as of November 27, the English midfielder scored 14 goals after 15 matches in La Liga, surpassing the record of 13 goals after 15 matches of 3 former strikers of this team, including Ronaldo, Di zStefano and Pruden. .

Along with that, the striker duo Rodrygo – Vinicius continuously “fired”, helping Los Blancos temporarily take the top spot in La Liga, and also won a place in the 1/8 round of the Champions League before 2 rounds.

With a 4-4-2 tactical formation, Rodrygo – Vinicius are always given priority to start and they have proven their ability to score goals, as well as expectations, even when Real Madrid does not have Bellingham in the squad. For example, in the 3-0 victory over Braga on November 9 (Champions League group stage), this duo both scored.

In the last 2 La Liga matches, Rodrygo – Vinicius contributed 6 out of 8 goals for the home team. In total, the Brazilian striker pair scored 10 goals in La Liga and together with Bellingham, they contributed 24/31 goals for Real Madrid.

Also needing more information, Vinicius was born in 2000 and Rodrygo was born in 2001. With Bellingham’s 6-year contract, this trio has a lot of time and opportunity to enter the legendary temple.

Real Madrid is still pursuing striker Kylian Mbappe. If the new trio with Mbappe – Rodrygo – Vinicius, along with Bellingham’s rotation, or maybe the trio+, Los Blancos will possess superior attacking players, promising to be able to overcome the recently famous BBC. Even if Mbappe’s plan changes at the last minute, the Spanish Royal team can still soon form a new trio with Bellingham – Vinicius – Rodrygo.
