Real Madrid's late revival?
(Baonghean.vn) - Defeating Alaves with a score of 4-0 is the 5th consecutive time that coach Zidane and his team have won on all fronts. This is a favorable condition for Real Madrid to conquer the remaining goals of the season.
More than a month ago, when Real Madrid was kicked out of the King's Cup by rival Leganes (losing on extra points), coach Zidane's seat was shaken violently. Besides the sadness in the King's Cup, in the La Liga arena, the Bernabeu team also had little hope of competing for the championship with Barcelona (at that time losing by 19 points).
In such a situation, Real Madrid's board of directors has considered the option of firing the French strategist. And the time frame is set after the second leg of the knockout round against PSG (March 7). That is, if the Royal team cannot win a ticket to the next round, coach Zidane will be "fired".
Everything seemed hopeless for the coach nicknamed Zizou, but in recent weeks Real Madrid has continuously won important victories. In La Liga, the Bernabeu team brought home the maximum 12 points after 4 matches (Sociedad, Betis, Leganes, Alaves). The gap between them and rival Barcelona was shortened from 19 points to 14 points.

In particular, the 3-1 victory over PSG in the first leg of the Champions League knockout round, which took place on February 14, is of great significance. With a 2-goal lead over their opponents, Real Madrid is holding the right to decide for themselves a ticket to the quarter-finals. Thereby, continuing the journey to defend the championship title they won last season.
Over the past month, coach Zidane and his team have demonstrated their strong revival. Real Madrid has returned to its true position as a king. However, there is a question raised by experts: Is the revival of Los Blancos at this stage too late? The answer is: Not completely.
Objectively speaking, in the La Liga arena, the chance of coach Zidane and his team defending the championship title is almost gone, when they are 14 points behind Barcelona while the season has only 13 matches left. With the current form of the "Catalan giant", the hope for Real Madrid to create a spectacular overthrow is impossible.

But at the most prestigious European club competition - Champions League, the Bernabeu team still has a chance. Not having to compete too hard in La Liga will be a favorable condition for coach Zidane and his team to successfully conquer the Champions League throne. There is no need to mention the class and luck of Real Madrid in this competition.
Therefore, the revival of Los Blancos at the present stage is still not too late, at least in the Champions League arena. If they show the same form as in the first leg of the knockout round against PSG, the 13th championship will be within reach of coach Zidane and his students. Anyway, better late than never./.
