Real Madrid 2023-24 Squad

The team

The 2023-24 Real Madrid squad stands among the most celebrated teams Spain has sent onto the continental stage. Representing Madrid, this was one of the defining sides of 2020s European football, the sort of team whose matches became must-watch occasions. Real Madrid won the Champions League and La Liga that season, a campaign that still shapes how the club is remembered. The side was built on a clear spine: Andriy Lunin behind a defence organised by Antonio Rüdiger, with Jude Bellingham setting the tempo through the middle.

Further forward, Vinícius Jr and Jude Bellingham gave the team its cutting edge, turning long spells of control into goals on the biggest European nights. There was depth to match the star quality, with the likes of Federico Valverde and Toni Kroos adding options across the pitch. Reassembled here, the lineup is a reminder of why this vintage still sets a standard that later teams chase. Set out in a 4-3-3, the XI captures the balance and ambition that made this Real Madrid team a benchmark of 2020s football — the players, the shape and the identity that made the vintage so hard to forget.
