Real Madrid continues its dominance in the La Liga as they lead the tournament. The team is doing well in all competitions and is pleasing the fans. However, it is the opinion of this website that later on in the Champions League and in the La Liga, the team will simply back off the offensive accelerator and will have problems scoring goals as the team lacks superstar forwards in order to score. The signings that they performed this season helped them win fans and media attention, but they will struggle in the end with a hefty amount of ball possession, but poor results. Players like Raul and Nistelrooy have no place to be in the club as they are due for retirement or at least for a place in less competitive clubs. Madrid is a place for young superstars.
