Madrid is slowly returning to its previous state. Because Madrid is doing much better now than it was before. This is all due to the change of coach in Madrid. If Madrid had not changed the coach, maybe Madrid would have been in a bad situation. We all hope that Madrid will soon become like the 2016-2017 season.
Even if Real Madrid returns to form, it'll be tough for them to win the Champions League three or even two years in a row under Xabi Alonso. I'm not saying he's not capable, but with the current competition from other clubs, he'll face challenges before achieving that. Honestly, the 2016-2018 Champions League seasons were underwhelming for me when Madrid won champions league consecutively, because it makes the Champions League look like a one horse race. it loses excitement when one team dominates titles in a row.
