Why we need a Benfica thread ?
I am a little torn on the outcome if they lose on Wednesday and lose LL. That would be second season in a row trophyless for the Los Blancos.
Unlike the childlike planning of this club, RM are proactive and Flo would definitely do a major overhaul next season if it does happen.
First and foremost, they would get rid of Arbeloa and go all in for Klopp. Not good for us.
They would get rid of their streaky players like Brahim Diaz, Camavinga, Tchouameni, Asencio. Not good for us.
They would definitely sign Schlotterbeck, Enzo Fernandez, Nico Paz, and maybe even Olise. Not good for us.
The bigger point is we should have capitalized on this somewhat tumultuous time in the capital. Last year CL and sextuple opportunity was there for the taking.

0 need to worry they have bought "smartly" and expensively the last few years and don't have much to show for it, but the lucky CL two seasons back and in that one their big buy jude was invisible In the K.O stages.
People said the same thing last season when they bought 3 defenders to address their defense.
When they brought in mbappe
We'll most likely sign in the summer has well to improve our team.
Never fear Madrid when Barcelona has someone competent in charge.

I'm more afraid of the referee mafia than of Madrid.
When sport, and especially football, is at such a high and evenly matched level that details decide, it turns out that referees have a huge impact on the final result.
In La Liga, Barcelona has had a long-standing problem with referees, and it's mainly politically motivated, though perhaps not exclusively so.
But when it comes to the Champions League, I don't understand it.
Barcelona is being similarly brutally and unfairly punished/cheated.
What's the reasoning behind this?
Last year, we were robbed of the Champions League final by referee Marciniak.
And this year, most likely, robbed of the semifinal by that Romanian clown with the whistle, and in both cases, the teams were on VAR.
It's a scandal to ruin all their efforts year after year with such cheating.

As we've seen over the past two seasons, the math ain't mathing. It's obvious they had the better squad, individually should be close to best in the world. But results didn't come for them.
Be it chemistry between the stars they have, tactics or just the fact they bought players that didn't fit the team's style of play, they fucked up. Could very well happen next season also.
As much as Barca got the results in the league, we can't deny that Madrid didn't push us as expected. They shot themselves in the foot without us even putting much pressure on them. Probably Mbappe is as much of a bad voodoo as Zidane was a good one for them.

Them signing Mbappé was the best thing to happen to us in years; completely fucked up their chemistry.

Results did come for them. Madrid is indeed struggling with a lot of problems but they have no problem beating any of the lower sides. They have had some pretty good runs where they won plenty games in a row
Problem is, Barca will likely finish this season on something like 95+ points or maybe even get the 100. That is a lot for even much better Madrid sides than this one to compete with
We simply took great advantage of their slip ups this season and that's why we've wrapped it up. If it was some other season Madrid would likely still be in the race
Not to speak of the constant referee help trying to keep them in the race
You can undermine the 2 titles all you want. Fact is it is a big achievement. This Madrid team is not as good as they should be but it's not a joke by any means as they have proven in CL this season. It's a top team with outrageous individual quality

They've been wobbly all season, got their manager sacked mid-seaon. Truly a great Madrid team!
Fact is a team like Real Madrid is hyped beyond belief, mainly by social media as they are a click machine and get attention.
They had a bit of a purple patch in LL, in January and February, after having Xabi sacked. Arbeloa looks like a clown on that bench, way out of his depth.
Proven in CL this season?! They had to play play-off and then they got an unlikely 3-0 at home vs City, who were unlucky as hell in that tie. Bernardo red was another blow and again countless City misses in the return leg. That was basically Madrid's crowning moment of the season, in all comps.
They can have moments, but it is mostly due to individual performances or other circumstances. Not sustained top performances.
If you want to paint it as a miracle from. Barca to pull it off, be my guest. Flick clearly overachieved, but for me the level of the league and competition for the title was also a factor.

It's never a miracle when Barca wins the title versus Madrid. It is what it is, a win. Not easy by any means and fought against good competition, which is what Madrid was.They've been wobbly all season, got their manager sacked mid-seaon. Truly a great Madrid team!

Level of the league is not good, and I agree with that. Most lower sides are too shit and have no quality. But Madrid are our main competition, and they beat them as easy as we do.
Like you say Madrid is a team that works on moments and it has gave them a lot of wins in league this season. They have been shit in most games but it takes very little for Mbappe and Vini to find space and score or get a pen.
