Spanish media sounded the alarm! National derby determines life and death, may replicate the 09/10 Zero Championship season

On May 6, Spanish "Marca" published an article pointing out that Real Madrid may encounter another "no championships throughout the year" since the 2009/10 season. Although the club spent a huge sum of money to sign Mbappe last summer, the team's performance this season was significantly lower than expected. As of now, Real Madrid has not won any championships in 2025, and the previous European Super Cup and Intercontinental Cup have been included in the record last season.

In January this year, Real Madrid missed the trophy twice. First, he lost to Barcelona 2-5 in the Spanish Super Cup final, and then lost to Barcelona 2-3 again in overtime in the Copa del Rey final. Currently, there are 5 rounds left in the La Liga, and Real Madrid is 4 points behind Barcelona. They will challenge Barcelona away next week, and the result of this national derby will directly affect whether Real Madrid can retain hope of winning the league.

Marca analyzed that if Real Madrid cannot defeat Barcelona next week, it basically means withdrawing from the league championship. If the Champions League fails to achieve anything, Real Madrid will repeat the mistakes of the 2009/10 season. That season, they were eliminated 4-0 by the C-level team Alcocon in the Copa del Rey and stopped in the quarterfinals of the Champions League. Although they scored 96 points in the league, they still lost to Barcelona by 3 points, and they ended up not winning.

Now Mbappe is wearing the Real Madrid jersey, but the team must sprint with all their might in the last two months. Especially the direct dialogue with Barcelona next week may be a key turning point throughout the season. The season that nothing was gained 15 years ago was like a shadow over the Bernabeu Stadium.
