Last season was so rough and bad for Real Madrid and they could not win anything but this season I think they are somehow better than last season but it is still not enough to win anything this season. What they played against Alaves was not encouraging in the sense that they played Alaves as if they are mate even when they are by far and more better than Alaves. It is obvious they had injury players but that is not enough reason to be under performing because if they continue this way it will be very difficult for them to win a major trophy this season.
