It's not just that Real Madrid have built a strong team to win major tournament titles this season, but Real Madrid have been trying to differentiate themselves from other clubs for as long as they've been playing football. Among all the clubs in Europe at the moment, the most traditional club is Real Madrid, and the club that rivals Real Madrid is Barcelona. Although these two teams do not meet much in the Champions League matches, still we observe the competition between these two teams well in the El Clasico matches.
Real Madrid is a strong team and arguably the most competitive, but what I don't understand is the point of the most traditional club. Please, give me a little understanding related to what you said. The title for Madrid is something that is part of them every season, be it La Liga or the Champions League. However, along the way it is natural that there will always be obstacles that hinder smooth progress, especially according to what is desired. What I regret about Madrid is that they did not bring in several defenders in the last transfer window. Either as a reserve player, or as one of the defenders who are relied on. Kroos' retirement also has an impact on the team's current performance, but it is only a matter of time until Madrid's players are able to increase their level and stability in playing.
In the last match Barcelona played against Real Madrid, Barcelona beat Real Madrid by a big margin, but we thought that Real Madrid would win by a big margin against this team.
A win or loss in one match doesn't decide the entire tournament so Real Madrid still have a lot of potential to do well in major tournaments.
Competition with Barcelona is more precisely in La Liga, unless the two teams meet in the Champions League. As you said, I tried to interpret it, you predicted that Madrid would win by a large margin in the match later. Yeah, anyway Real Madrid has a chance for that. But unfortunately, all of that has not materialized and is still in the discourse. but at least we agree on one thing, La Liga still has many matches to be played by both teams. it is possible that Barcelona could slip in several matches, as well as Madrid, besides having to reduce the points difference they must be consistent and must not slip in each match. so, there is still a lot of time and opportunity.
