Real Madrid New Second Favourites On Paper But Still See The Double Within Reach

Real Madrid may not be in peak shape right now, but the club’s ambition to challenge Barcelona’s pursuit of a treble remains unwavering.

In reality, according to MARCA, the Madrid squad is far from giving up on their chances of upsetting Barcelona’s plans, especially with the Copa del Rey final approaching.

While their recent performances have been below par, Los Blancos remain focused on their goal of retaining the La Liga crown.

Despite being ousted from the Champions League, Real Madrid has demonstrated perseverance by winning back-to-back matches against Athletic Club and Getafe.

For what it’s worth, these victories gave the team a much-needed boost keeping them firmly in the hunt for the remaining objectives.

Key matches before the league Clasico

With only one matchday remaining until the highly anticipated La Liga Clasico, both sides face crucial games that could decide the title battle.

Real Madrid will host Celta Vigo, while Barcelona will visit Valladolid. If both teams win, the Clasico at Montjuïc will be a critical event in the race for the La Liga crown.

Looking ahead, Real Madrid has three home games remaining—Celta Vigo, Mallorca, and Real Sociedad—and two away games against Barcelona and Sevilla.

Meanwhile, Barcelona’s remaining matches are three away (Valladolid, Espanyol, and Athletic Club) and two at home (Real Madrid and Villarreal).

For the time being, Real Madrid’s approach is clear: they intend to continue to put pressure on Barcelona, despite the fact that their opponents are competing in numerous competitions.

This increased pressure could play a factor in the season’s final weeks, when both teams compete for supremacy in Spain. Interestingly, if Real Madrid wins the Copa del Rey final, the pressure on Barcelona would increase even more.
