Real Madrid, who devastated rival Barcelona on an expedition, continues the dream of a European treble.
Real Madrid defeated Barcelona 4-0 in the second leg of the 2022-23 season Copa del Rey semifinals held at Camp Nou on the 6th (Korean time).
As a result, Real Madrid, which overturned a 0-1 defeat in the first leg, succeeded in advancing to the final of the tournament with a total score of 4-1 in the first and second leg. Real Madrid, which is trying to win the title for the first time in nine years, will meet Osasuna in the final on the 6th of next month.
With this final advance, Real Madrid will be able to continue their dream of winning the first European treble (League-Association Cup-Champions League) in club history.
Of course, the reality is that it is not easy. First of all, it is not easy to chase Barcelona in the most important league. Real Madrid, which led the team even at the beginning of the season, gave up first place at the 13th round and is showing a difference of 12 points with 11 games left.
Above all, since Barcelona has eliminated all competitions, it is not difficult to close the gap because the future schedule has only league matches left and can focus on this.
Real Madrid is still alive in the Champions League. The opponent we will meet in the quarterfinals is Chelsea, who has been in a bad mood lately. Chelsea sacked manager Graham Porter on the 3rd and lost the head coach. Several coaches are already on the rise, but it is expected that the upcoming Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid will be very difficult.
Man City is not much different from Real Madrid. First of all, in the Premier League, they are recording an 8-point gap with leading Arsenal. In addition, since they played one less game than Arsenal, if they continue to win the remaining games, they can quickly reduce the difference to 5 points.
Arsenal are still in an advantage as there are only a few games left to play, but in terms of gap, they are much better than Real Madrid. Also in the FA Cup, they advanced to the semifinals and will face Southampton and Wembley Stadium at the end of this month.
In the Champions League, we meet Bayern Munich. Needless to say, Munich recently took over coach Thomas Tuchel, and there is a painful experience in which Guardiola gave away the championship cup in the Champions League final in the 2020-21 season. 메이저놀이터
Meanwhile, the European treble has come out a total of 9 times so far. Barcelona and Bayern Munich twice, and Celtic (Scotland), PSC Eindhoven, Ajax (above Netherlands), Manchester United (England), and Inter Milan (Italy) were the protagonists.
