Barcelona is playing the best football this season in Spain. They will win the Copa del Rey today by beating Real Madrid. Then they will do a double by becoming La Liga champions. Real Madrid on the other hand will fire their manager Ancelotti and reorganize with Xabi Alonso. The days when Barcelona dominated Spain are back. This generation has a lot of quality and they will be the favorites for all the trophies for many years to come. They play the most pleasing to the eye. For the first time since Messi left, they are in a great mood. They will use it to the fullest.
Real Madrid is sinking lower and lower and deserve no respect in my opinion.
When they boycotted ballon d'or elections when Rodri was voted as the best player in the world, Real Madrid was showing no respect and did not attend the event. This is not very royal and now they take that to the next level and put the referee under pressure so hard that he had to cry at a press conference because his son gets attacked in school and with insults implying that his father is a thief.
I don't know what's wrong with them, but they know that they are not the same level as Barcelona and therefore decide to try it this way. No other club is doing that in any of the other leagues, but Real Madrid is nonstop complaining. I hope Barcelona will teach them a lesson and beat them with 5+ goals. There won't be any referee discussions then.
It look unprofessional as R. Madrid players did not attend the Ballon d'Or event because numerous players have previously complained that they were robbed of the balloon d'or, but that hasn't stopped them from attending the event. In my opinion, Madrid's actions were completely disrespectful, and they did not honor the title.
For the issue of referee, I don't know why Madrid take it so personal, as if the referee contributed to their loss against Barcelona this season, Barcelona defeated them with pure winning, which I still believe will happen tonight again.
I heard Hensi flick want to start with Stegen I don't know how true it is, but I'm not comfortable with that because Szczęsny has been displaying amazing performance for the club. In my opinion, Hensi flick should use Stegen for La Liga matches not important match like this or Hensi
should just rest Stegen till next season
