Three wins in eight days

Ignoring the meaningless loss to Leganés in the second leg of the Copa del Rey round of 16, Real Madrid is on fire. Solari’s side has won five of the last six and is on the brink of the Copa semifinal.

Combined with the FIFA Club World Cup victory, I think it is safe to say that Solari has somewhat pleased the vocal fans.

The results have been great and several players have been standing out, but should we be considered about the fitness of the squad with this many matches in such a short amount of time?

The club will have played two more matches in two different competitions by this time next week. It is a big help that several players are returning from injury which should help the depth a ton.

It has been much easier to cover the team recently with such great results and thrilling matches, but I still have my fears for the wear and tear it will have on the players.
