In my opinion, the defeat experienced by Real Madrid against Valencia is really real evidence that Real Madrid's performance is very bad this season. Then if we compare Barcelona with Real Madrid in terms of performance, I think it makes sense to say that Barcelona is indeed better. Because it cannot be denied that Barcelona is currently superior to Real Madrid, whether in terms of consistent performance, points, or goal productivity. So with that, it is clear that Barcelona is indeed superior to Real Madrid.
But even so, it does not mean that Real Madrid is a bad competitor for Barcelona in La Liga. Because we all must also admit that Real Madrid remains the best competitor in La Liga this season. But if we compare, I also agree if we say that Barcelona is superior to Real Madrid. Because we can see for ourselves in the last few meetings between Real Madrid and Barcelona, the results are really beyond reason, because Real Madrid always loses to Barcelona and with a fairly big score too. So with that, I personally am increasingly convinced that Barcelona is currently superior to Real Madrid. And for the match in the Copa Del Rey final, I personally will also support Barcelona to win.
Is it a proof that they are playing badly this season? Or is it a proof that they had way too many injuries to their defense all year long, which made all the defenders that are left, have to play every single game, and that makes them incredibly tired, which causes them to lose games?
It is obvious that we are not going to end up with midfielders turning into defenders all year long if they had some defenders doing alright, and that is their issue, which is why we need to be careful about it. If they ignore this next season then they will have the same results next season as well. They need to be careful and get some more depth on defense to make sure they do not have the same problems in the future again.
