Real Madrid escaped feeling more than a little lucky that they dismissed RB Leipzig in midweek, squeaking by 2-1 on aggregate thanks to a goal from Vinicius Junior. However, it leaves them in a good place heading into the end of the season, with the main question being whether they can maintain the standards.
Thursday was informed by the Real Madrid field that a certain “relaxation” it had been noticed in recent matches, where simple passes went astray, and mistakes at the back were common.
Now Relief say this is partly due to fatigue. The Blancos are going through a physical decline at the moment, and their goal is to reach the international break, without dropping any points to Celta Vigo at home or to Osasuna, so that they can recover properly and regain some sharpness. While they usually experience a dip in fitness under the regime of Antonio Pintus, it tends to happen in January and February, but this season it hit them a little later.
It should also be noted that the Whites have had a number of key players miss playing time during the winter months, and after recovering, they can be left slightly while returning to their usual rhythms, and similar to those who they weren't. the injuries have obviously dealt with increased minutes for the most part. If Real Madrid They can top it at the end of March, though, so Los Blancos will have to make a run for another famous double under Carlo Ancelotti.
