They kept him and he turns into a Ballon d'Or level goalscorer somewhere around 33 years or so. Modric keeps delivering in the midfield well past 35 and so on. None of it makes good sense on paper, but they keep doing calls like this consistently. I guess they've had some howlers too though. Hazard transfer is an absolute disaster and Jovic cost them something like 60 million euros too for 3 goals.

Those two players + a decent amount of luck camouflaged that as a team, it's just not operating at the same level you see from City or Bayern. Their players are still good, obviously, and to be fair, they've showed some pretty exceptional skill at dealing with high pressure in earlier rounds of this CL. But it's been a long time since I've seen them actually dominate a game against high level opposition. I think they’ve done decent business in recent years, they’ve got a very exciting midfield, ready to have the torch passed to. A few misses sure. They aren’t on the bleeding edge of modern football tactics, they’re not even especially close. They’ve had enough quality to historically make it work, and it’s knockout football. It doesn’t feel like something they can keep on doing though. It’s not like other teams lack individual quality, but they’ve also got very modern, more systemic approaches embedded in too. You only have to look at La Liga results over the last while, Real aren’t dominating La Liga week in week out like a City or a Bayern are pushing | ||

Perhaps not to be fair, they’ve broadly been chugging along winning the league with ease every season, taking home the odd double and have been there or thereabouts at Europe’s top table for quite some time. Because they’ve not just had the best players, which they also tend to have, but they’ve generally kept on top of the coaching/tactical trends at the top of the game. Real haven’t really, and aren’t showing an inclination to do so if rumours of Bellingham/Mbappe are anything to go by. They’re competing at a time where the best clubs are both playing greater than the sum of their parts, and with comparable parts, and IMO getting outstripped because of it. City are on course for yet another 90+ points season in the Prem and eviscerated Real in the second leg. Real have conceded the title to a relatively mediocre Barcelona and last term posted a title winning total equivalent to Arsenal this season. It’s a good thing for the game overall as a neutral that Real are lagging behind a bit, a Real run as systemically as a City or a Bayern would be caking La Liga in its current state, but I think it’s fair to acknowledge they are lagging behind a bit as a club in terms of the top to bottom running of it | ||
