Five dramatic days at Real Madrid, between defeats to Alavés and Shakhtar Donetsk, have led to eight fantastic days for the club, in which they have won three major games. They first beat Sevilla 1-0, then Borussia Mönchengladbach 2-0 and lastly, they demonstrated their dominance over Atlético de Madrid with a 2-0 derby win, giving them a 5-0 aggregate victory about his apparent crisis.
The Whites reached the derby in their umpteenth crisis, suffering one of the strangest starts to the season in recent years. The loss to Alavés was worrisome, but then the loss to Shakhtar only made matters worse.
At the time, 11 days ago, things were looking dark at the club. Zinedine Zidane’s future was more up in the air than ever, he had lost five of 16 games and seemed unable to reverse the trend. Things looked back in LaLiga Santander and also in the Champions League, with Madrid vulnerable in Europe and almost out of contention at the national level.
But Real Madrid has managed to get out of the crisis, going through three difficult games to do so. First it was a visit to the Sánchez Pizjuan Stadium, then they had to host the Atlético leader on both sides of a crucial match in the group stage of the Champions League, which had the implications of a knockout.
Now, Madrid’s season looks extraordinary. They have reached the last 16 of the Champions League as group champions and have joined the race in LaLiga Santander, now three points behind Atleti, although they have one more game played. They have beaten Sevilla, Atlético and Barcelona in Spain, while they also beat Inter twice in Europe.
Life looks different in Madrid. They have been given some peace after weeks of stress.
They had not won three games in a row since October 4, when they beat Real Betis, Valladolid and Levante.
Madrid can breathe. Zidane is recharged, having gone through the most delicate situation he has faced since he returned to the club in March 2019.
Beyond the results, there are again positive feelings around Real Madrid.
