Conclusion

Solari has been applauded for turning this Real Madrid side around, but it was always followed with an asterisk. Critics claimed that he hadn’t faced stiff enough competition, and that was a fair assessment. But in the last few days, he has come up against Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

Real Madrid had a good game against Barcelona and an even better one today. They fixed their mistakes from the last match and dominated against the Rojiblanco.

Next. Three takeaways from Real Madrid’s emphatic win over Atletico Madrid. dark

Confidence is high at Real Madrid and rightfully so. The cohesion and chemistry in this squad have only got better with time and will continue to do so.

Real Madrid’s next match will be against Ajax in their first-leg of the Round of 16 in the Champions League. A similar if not better performance will be required for progression.
