Real Madrid may have won a title a few days ago. We may not be very familiar with the team Real Madrid faced, and we may not even know if that team is strong. Will Real Madrid be excited to win the next trophy after winning with this team?
A title is a title, plus it's not the kind of title that's won in trash tournaments, to qualify for it you need to win the Champions League. Ancelotti has become the most decorated coach in Real Madrid history thanks to this title. I think he is happy, as are the other players who are pleased to get a tick in a long list of various trophies.
If we are to look at performance after players retire from their footballing career, what speaks for you is the trophies you have in your cabinet or on the shelf or wherever you choose to display those winning days. It doesn’t even matter if you won them off the bench. You’ve got something to show for your footballing career that a lot of other players don’t.
The team you might have won that from doesn’t matter too. So yeah, Real Madrid might suck at the moment but, they’ve made good of the squad. We would most likely want to see them in their formal glory but, it is what it is at the time.
