Part 6/8:
Given the talent at Real Madrid's disposal, expectations are high—some might argue they should be aiming for nothing less than a treble this season. While that ambition may sound audacious, evidence points toward a team that is capable of meeting high expectations. However, the team faces challenges that could derail their ambitions: fatigue from a packed schedule, travel, and potential injuries could significantly impact their performance this season.
With Atletico Madrid struggling in their own fixtures, the gap is widening. Their resilient draw against Valencia indicated fatigue from prior Champions League exertion. This let Real Madrid take advantage of the situation, further extending their lead in the hunt for the title.
