Five points to believe. Real Madrid has recovered the illusion in the Primera Iberdrola after an irregular start in the league. White closed the year after getting ten of the last fifteen points in the League, in addition to signing the pass to the quarterfinals of the Champions League. In the European tournament, Barça will be measured to fight for a place in the semifinals, although for this first Spanish ‘Classic’ in Europe we will still have to wait until March.
Before this historic match, White has the objective of continuing to climb places in the standings, where they are five points away from the European zone. in the absence of their rivals playing (Atlético and Athletic have one game less). An objective in which they have chained two victories in the League this last week: they won the derby against Madrid CFF (1-3) and against Sporting de Huelva (3-0).
In sixth position, Madrid believe they are capable of being able, at least, to enter the fight for the Champions League. The Madrid team has given a boost since the arrival on the bench of Alberto Toril, who has a balance of five out of six possible victories between the League and the Champions League, and will go for it all in this 2022.
For now, as soon as he returns from the Christmas break he will have a decisive appointment: the derby with Atleti that will be played in Alcalá on the weekend after the Three Kings. Toril’s box has in his hand to give a blow to the classification to keep dreaming of repeating European participation in your third year of life.
