Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing how Madrid performs against big teams. I am especially looking forward to El Clasico. We saw Madrid lose all 4 matches against Barcelona last season. Madrid fans don't want to see the same result this season either.
The El Clasico match will certainly be the most anticipated game for many people, which I think can be a benchmark for Real Madrid true strength. Additionally, the El Clasico match is also the perfect event to assess Xabi Alonso managerial quality, everyone is eager to watch it. In the last two games, Real Madrid has shown improved performance, and I think that will make the upcoming El Clasico match more ideal, as the strength of both teams will be more balanced. Barcelona will surely have to be more vigilant this season, their effort to defend the trophy will clearly not be easy.
