The top 5 moments of 2020 for Real Madrid

Real Madrid had many ups and downs this year but looking at everything, it was still a great year for the Los Blancos.

2020 has been a different year for everyone. The pandemic has stopped the beautiful game for some time. Not being able to watch their favorite team play week and week out was really sad for the fans around the world. The game resumed in June for all the clubs, thanks to the people who worked behind this.

Real Madrid had ups and downs after 2018, especially after Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure. 2018-19 was a flop season with no silverware in hands of the players. 2020 was new hope for the club and Zidane. Real Madrid managed to win a couple of trophies in 2020.  With some new players and a renewed hope, Real Madrid managed to give some amazing moments in 2020. Let’s see the five best moments of 2020.

1) Supercopa de España 2020

The Super Cup win for Los Blancos was a boost of confidence in the squad. The Super Cup was held in Saudi for the first time. Earlier it was simply a two-legged tie between the winner of La Liga and the winner of Copa del Rey. In this new format, instead of two teams, four teams are playing for the trophy.

In the 2020 edition of the Super Cup, held in Saudi Arabia, the four teams that participated were Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, Valencia, and Atletico de Madrid. The format was simple – two semifinals and a final. The first semifinal was played between Real Madrid and Valencia. Real Madrid beat Valencia by three goals to one. In the other semifinal, Atleti beat Barcelona.

In the final, Real Madrid beat Atleti on penalties 4-1 after a 0-0 draw in extra time. It was a great match till the final whistle as both defenses were rigid. The moment of the match was that tackle by Fede Valverde on Alvaro Morata, termed by Atletico manager Diego Simeone to probably be a professional foul. This cup brought great confidence in the squad and the team played some good football overall, using the five-man blueprint in midfield.
