Barcelona have a tough and hectic schedule, as well. I'll keep my expectations low. We don't have the depth to compete for all of these competitions, so I predict we'll throw the cup.

Not quite. I think Madrid will go all out for the cup because they know they have a very slim chance of winning the league and the same goes for the CL. They'll try to save face and avoid a trophyless season by winning it, so expect Solari to really go for it.

Yeah, that's possible too. We've played pretty well in the cup under Solari. Either way, competing in all competitions is going to tire the team out. We can't prioritize them all.

Just like this stage last season I have to ask tired of what? Our players season started at Betis, before then they were on holiday. They owe at least a trophy this season and a serious run in the other competitions

Would you say we competed for the cup, the league and the Champions League last season?

by halamadrid2 Fri Feb 01, 2019 11:04 pm

By this time last season we'd already lost the cup and the league. It didn't matter what we did after the PSG game aka the game that turned our season around. The only trophy we could win by them was the CL and we did

This season with the emergence of Vini and a host of youngsters we managed to stay in the Copa too. That means we are alive in 2 competitions. They owe us gold in at least one of them
