Real Madrid’s recent struggles continue, with five losses in their last 11 matches across all competitions. Can the Spanish giants turn their season around?
Real Madrid, once renowned for their ability to find a way to win in any situation, is struggling to maintain their legendary status as a team that thrives under pressure. Last night’s 1–0 defeat to Athletic Bilbao at San Mamés marked their fifth loss in their last 11 matches across all competitions.
This sharp decline contrasts starkly with the club’s previous dominance, where they had suffered just four defeats in their last 73 matches before this slump.
Madrid began the season as favorites to compete for titles on all fronts, but their recent form has sparked doubts among fans and pundits alike about their ability to deliver silverware this year.
Champions League struggles
In the Champions League, Madrid’s chances of advancing to the playoff stages are far from certain. Losses to Lille, AC Milan, and Liverpool have left the Spanish giants in a precarious position, far from the dominance they have historically displayed in Europe’s top competition.
La Liga inconsistencies
Domestically, Madrid has also faltered, suffering defeats to both Athletic Bilbao and arch-rivals Barcelona in La Liga. While the points gap at the top remains manageable, the team’s uninspired performances are causing significant concern among supporters, who are accustomed to seeing their side exude confidence and control in critical moments.
With their fifth loss in 11 games, Real Madrid is facing one of its most challenging periods in recent memory. Fans are left wondering if the squad has what it takes to reclaim its winning ways and restore the aura of invincibility that once defined the "Galácticos."
