Real Madrid did not win in four consecutive matches before the last round

The club from Seville confirmed its stability last season, reaching the final of the Conference League and climbing to sixth place in La Liga. This season has gone even better. The Spaniards made it to the quarterfinals of the more prestigious Europa League, where, after a draw away to Braga and leading 2-0, they eventually lost without much fight, 2-4. In the domestic league, they managed to claim fifth place, but results declined since late winter. Only Girona was finally defeated in the last round.

The Madrid giant did not win any titles in 2025 and risks repeating that this year. The new calendar year started with a Super Cup loss to Barcelona. After that, Xabi Alonso was replaced, but Arbeloa’s debut brought disappointment with a Copa del Rey defeat to Albacete. In La Liga, after overtaking the Catalans, they later let them pull ahead. The win over Alavés this week doesn’t really change anything. The Champions League remained, where they got past Benfica and Manchester City, but in the quarterfinals against Bayern, especially in Munich, they lost both matches after a tough fight.

Pellegrini’s men average 1.5 goals scored per match and concede 1.25. The Madrid stars look good: they score 2.09 goals per game and concede 0.94.
