The season is almost over so Madrid should just focus on playing the remaining matches that is there before the season ends but Madrid have a gave a good account of themselves through out the season and not winning a trophy should not be a reason to criticizing the entire team
In fact Real Madrid should try its best right away after the defeat of Barcelona in UEFA Champions League semifinal against Inter Milan. Barcelona's players and management are psychologically devastated since they were the most favourite team to win the title. They messed up the game since the beginning and although returning in the scoring, they failed to maintain it. I see that as a huge blow out that Real Madrid could use it to reduce the gap between them to only 1 point. It is like take it or vanish opportunity.
I doubt it if Real Madrid has the defence to hold Barcelona but I hope they do win Barcelona over the weekend on the El Clasico so they they will be under pressure. Just one point difference if eventually Real Madrid wins them will actually put in the pressure them for the remainder of the two or three matches afterwards. Real Madrid has to learn one thing or two from this Inter Milan game because how exactly were they able to hold Barcelona across two legs in a 3 - 3 draw in both games. I just want to see Real Madrid win Barcelona and see how well they will respond to pressure.
Barcelona also has problems in the defense area right now. Their best defenders couldn't play in the Inter match. If the same thing happens in the Real Madrid match, Real Madrid might have a chance. Real Madrid wants to get their only win against Barcelona in this match. They haven't been able to win against Barcelona since the beginning of the year. Now they want to put this bad luck aside and beat Barcelona as Real Madrid. Maybe if they win this match, they will have a chance to win the Spanish league as well. Barcelona, who were eliminated in the Champions League, will face Real Madrid with their morale low. Real Madrid should be able to use this as an advantage because they have a tired Barcelona who played for 120 minutes.
