Real Madrid was able to be at the helm in a stunning new formation with Xabi Alonso.
The Spaniard is expected to join his former side after he has announced that he will leave Bayer Leverkusen this summer.
Alonso's approaching arrival at Real has been set to see that Carlo Ancelotti is completing a deal with Brazil.
And Los Blancos are set for an exciting makeover on the field and that.
A free transfer deal for Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool is almost complete.
He is expected to initiate a summer of expenditure, because Real looks seems to make a disappointing competition and European campaign.
Other players they look at are Arsenal's William Saliba, Dean Huijsen van Bournemouth, Girona's Miguel Gutierrez and Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad.
If they land all their goals, Real could stand in a daring new way under tactical expert Alonso.
The former playmaker of Liverpool and Bayern Munich has used various formations during his time as a boss.
But Alonso's main tactics at Leverkusen is the 3-4-2-1, which led the Germans to a title-winning Invincibles season last year.

Thibaut Courtois could see that in goal, where Saliba and Huijsen join Eder Militao at the back.
There may be no room for former Chelsea star Antonio Rudiger, while David Alaba can also be frozen.
Furthermore, Alexander-Arnold and Gutierrez were able to work as Wing-Backs from Real.
The pasting of Federico Valverde in midfield next to Zubimendi would enable Alexander-Arnold to drive infield because the Uruguayan is often found bombing over the right flank.
And at the top, Jude Bellingham and Vinicius JR were able to play the supporting roles behind striker Kylian Mbappe.
Another formation that Alonso uses in Leverkusen, especially this season, is the classic 4-4-2.
That would see a back that four of Alexander-Arnold, Saliba, Huijsen and Gutierrez start for Courtois.
Bellingham could work together Zubimendi in midfield while he was flanked by Vinicius JR and colleague Brazilian winger Rodrygo.
And in the front, younger Endrick could finally get a good chance to flourish next to Mbappe.
Finally, Alonso was able to return to the 4-2-3-1 system that he brought back with the B-team of Real Sociedad.
It also has the advantage that it is the formation that is currently being implemented under Ancelotti.
And that would see a similar back five that are supported by a midfield spivot from Zubimendi and colleague holder Eduardo Camavinga.
Rodrygo, Bellingham, Vinicius JR and Mbappe would then form a frightening attack.
And not much would bet that Alonso really led to Laliga Glory in his first season that was in charge.
