Few weeks ago, rivals, Barcelona, though with their backs to the wall, had somewhat of a chance to overturn a 12-point lead at the top of the table. With Madrid slumping to a 4-0 defeat in the most recent El Clasico, Ancelotti and his men were very much on Xavi and co’s radar. But Real were able to do what they do best when it comes to highly important moments like this.
With Sevilla and the likes contesting in the backdrop, Madrid weren’t going to put their necessities on the back burner. Now off a stinging 4-0 loss to Barça, Madrid have taken their fate in their hands and have gotten all wins in their league games since the infamous defeat. Bernabeu’s residents have also advanced a step further into the semi-finals of the Champions League, where they currently have a decent stand against Manchester City, with just a goal behind in a 4-3 stumble at the Etihad.
Perhaps all this happening on the back of Karim Benzema, the Frenchman has been a classic this season and is highly backed to win the Ballon D’or. Registering his name on the score sheet again today, Benzema had been in the front seat of Los Blancos’ rollercoaster ride, showing incredible performances in the Champions League and other competitions.
Madrid take on Guardiola’s City next in the UCL on Wednesday where they’ll look to defeat The Citizens to advance to a stage they last reached in the Ronaldo era.
