Real Madrid find themselves top of the tree at the halfway stage of the La Liga season, sitting first in the league on goal difference.
However, in terms of stability, resources and recruitment they look a long while ahead of everyone else in Spain - and most clubs across Europe.
So, with the future of manager Carlo Ancelotti secured with the recent contract extension, overseeing recruitment of talented youngsters in their redeveloped iconic stadium - what, if anything, do they need to do to improve? Apart from maybe adding Kylian Mbappe to their superstar team.
Adam Leventhal is joined by The Athletic's La Liga writer Dermot Corrigan and Junior Spain Editor Tomas Hill Lopez-Menchero to discuss Madrid's season so far as well as analyse the ongoing chase to sign Mbappe.
