Real Madrid begins to shape its European dream

A title is not required from Real Madrid at the beginning. The white team makes its historic debut at Primera Iberdrola with one main objective: qualify to play the Champions League next season. It is not that obtaining titles is out of their aspirations, but from the white entity they have been aware that It would not be easy to reach out and kiss the saint. And much less with a League as competitive as the one it addresses. For this reason, the requirement remains in a European classification, always aspiring to everything, including titles. And for the moment, White has done his job at the end of 2020.

With a balance of nine victories, three defeats and a draw, the Madrid team is second in the standings. Aznar's team he is two points away from Barça, which has three games less than its rivals, and one point above Atlético, against which he could not win in a controversial derby in Valdebebas (0-1). With less game load than Barça and Atletico, Real Madrid faces 2021 more relaxed than its rivals.

And is that both Atlético and Barça must play the Champions League, in which they recently qualified for the second round, and the Spanish Super Cup, in which they will meet each other on January 12 in Almería. Apart of this, The Catalan team has to recover the three games postponed by COVID-19 and the final of the last edition of the Cup against Logroño. Without a doubt, a very tight schedule while the league title is at stake.

Real Madrid has shown great strength in this league start, but they showed weaknesses in the big dates. Thus, White lost defeats against Barça (0-4), Atlético (0-1) and Granadilla (2-1). The Canarian team is fourth, tied on points with the rojiblancas, and it also remains in the fight for Europe. Removing these three meetings and the 1-1 draw in Valencia on the second day, the Madrid team has managed to measure up in the First Division.

Among their best games, Espanyol 1-8 or Sevilla 5-2 at home stand out. Now, for 2021, Madrid's wishes go further and they surely include in the letter of the Magi a first victory both in the 'new' Classic and in the Madrid derby. For now, another derby will await us on Reyes' day, the one that measures Real Madrid and Madrid CFF. A special meeting, since the latter aspired to become the first, and with a lot at stake. For Real Madrid it is only worth winning if you want to continue treading on European soil.
