Real Madrid did not have their most impressive campaign but could finish in second place if they win their last league match of the season. Here is what needs to happen for that to happen.
There is no question that Real Madrid’s domestic campaign did not go as planned. Last year, Madrid won the league in epic fashion with several late goals and possessed a squad with a wealth of depth. This season has not produced the same moments nor results.
With a few attacking players out the door, manager Zinedine Zidane had less to work with. Despite all the nuances of the season, somehow, Real Madrid could finish in second place.
The beginning of the season was a mad circus for the club. Los Blancos just came off a two trophy-winning season, asserted their dominance in the Spanish Super Cup and UEFA Super Cup thereafter, but stumbled on their way into La Liga. Rival FC Barcelona made sure to take advantage and never seemed looked back. Meanwhile, things were not looking so good for Real as they found themselves sitting in seventh place at times.
Zidane’s system seemed to come alive at the turn of the New Year. Ronaldo started scoring tons of goals, making up for his measly four in the first half of the season. Great performances from unlikely sources such as Lucas Vazquez and Marco Asensio paid dividends.
