Real Madrid got many champions league titles before and they are known for their success in this tournament but during this season Real Madrid had not a good performance in La Liga and even right now when there are some games left for this season they have had no luck to win the title because the gap they have between themselves and top of the table, I think this time they will have a hard day against Manchester City.
What Madrid needs to pay attention to in this regard is fitness now. They must continue to look after their players until their semi-final clash with Manchester City begins.
Losing Benzema has backfired for them in the last few matches, especially yesterday, which had to be destroyed by Girona.
They are still very capable of winning like last season but with the condition that their players must be able to do their best in the future.
Madrid's performance has dropped drastically lately, maybe feeling tired or something but today they are not in the best position which makes me doubt their victory against Manchester City which is on the rise even in the English Premier League, Manchester City in five matches the last time they got a complete victory, seeing from Real Madrid's strength today their game performance has greatly decreased and they don't know who they should rely on on the field as the key to fast attack and executing the ball well.
well, the fitness factor of the players is indeed very important for a team. but unfortunately at this time several Real Madrid players seem to be recovering from injury. but based on the news I've read at least all their players will recover next week. and at least they will also be ready in the champions league semi final. but Real Madrid's inconsistency in Laliga is something to pay attention to. it's just that sometimes Real Madrid makes a surprise in the Champions League like last season. they actually almost lost in the semi-finals. but they recovered at the end of the second leg match and qualified for the final.
I think fitness player is quite important but it must be balanced with a very good mentality, because what I found on the field of football players even though they have very good fitness and qualified skills will disappear if they are not mentally stable and their confidence is low. dim which results in a game without enthusiasm and confusion.
