La Liga - 2nd
Real were consistently just alrightthis season. They rose to second in gameweek 15 and stayed there for all but four of the remaining rounds of fixtures, which tells you all you need to know. They were good, but just not good enough. An uncomfortable start to the season, which included a 1-0 loss to Cadiz, a 4-1 defeat to Valencia and a 2-1 reverse to Alaves, ultimately gave them too much work to do in the title race, but to their credit, they almost clawed it back. Atletico Madridhad boasted...
Copa del Rey - third round
Right then. January was a very rough month for Real, with one of the worst blows coming in the Copa del Rey, where Zidane's mighty side were deservedly bested by third-tier side Alcoyano in the third round. We're not going to pretend that this was a full-strength Real side, but the likes of Casemiro, Marcelo and Isco started the game and Toni Kroos, Eden Hazard, Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio were all on the pitch when Los Blancos fell behind in extra-time. Zidane's future was all the Spanis...
Supercopa - semi-final
Six days before that defeat to Alcoyano, Real had crashed out of the Supercopa at the semi-final stage at the hands of eventual winners Athletic Club. Makeshift right-back Lucas Vazquez had a couple of howlers in the first half and gifted Athletic two easy goals, but Real could not get themselves back into the tie until Karim Benzema's 73rd-minute strike, at which point it was just too late. Two domestic trophies lost in embarrassing fashion across just six days.
Champions League - semi-final
The inquiry into Zidane's future actually began in December, when he took his Real side into their final group stage match against Gladbach knowing defeat would eliminate them from the tournament at the earliest possible stage. They had been stunned by Shakhtar and held by Gladbach in the first two weeks, and yet another defeat to Shakhtar later on had Real on the brink of collapse, but Zidane pulled out his tomorrow is a finalcard and managed to mastermind a 2-0 win. From there, things stepp...
Thibaut Courtois had another excellent season in goal, while the midfield trio of Luka Modric, Toni Kroos and Casemiro were all typically brilliant, but it's genuinely concerning to think where Real would have been without Karim Benzema. The Frenchman bagged 30 goals and nine assists in all competitions this year, finding the back of the net 23 tim...
By the time the season ended, Zidane felt he could only rely on 13 or 14 of his first-team squad. He had so little faith in the rest, and while some of his grievances were strange, most were pretty justified. It's easy to point the finger at struggling stars like Isco and Asensio, while the eternally injured duo of Hazard and Sergio Ramos were both...
The Spanish media called for Zidane's head to roll with alarming regularity in 2020/21. While he's obviously a victim of his own success - second in La Liga and a spot in the Champions League semi-final isn't exactly bad going - there's a clear feeling that he might not be the man to get Real back to the trophy-laden glory days. A lot of the issues...
With no trophies to their name, this season has to be remembered as a failure for Real, although things could have been a lot worse than they were. They gave a solid account of themselves both in the league and in Europe, but is decent good enough for the team championing the Super League? Expectations are so high at the Bernabeu and Real have undo...
