Coming (Almost) Right Up: Sociedad ~ Round 2
Los Blancos take on Real Sociedad in the second leg of the CDR semifinal after this break. The Copa has, in general, remained fairly elusive for Real Madrid. Now, the Royal Whites find themselves close to another final, carrying a lead from the first leg. Yet, Sociedad are a strong team and the highly congested schedule seems to have taken a toll on the players.
Before that, there’s a match with Leganes, and the schedule from there on, remains as congested as discussed. Essentially, fixture congestion is the keyword these days.
We’re going to have to wait to find out what happens. What are your feelings on the match?
A Tough-Men Contest
With Barcelona beating Atletico, the race for the La Liga title remains tight. So, the League, the Copa go down to the wire, and we also play in the UCL quarter finals with little rest between games and a few injuries thrown in there. Looks like it’s gonna be a tough end to the season, no matter the outcome. Hala Madrid.
