Juanma Rodríguez's Response to Real Madrid's Defeat in Just 6 Words

Juanma Rodríguez, journalist and confessed Madridist, is very sad about what happened in the Copa del Rey final. He believes that Real Madrid deserved to win, and that's why his first reaction after the match was quite clear.

He did it on social media, specifically through X, the social network formerly known as Twitter. "Sometimes soccer is unfair," he went on to assert in relation to what was happening at La Cartuja. He isn't wrong, as this third and penultimate Clásico was decided by small details.

This time they were against Real Madrid. Two individual mistakes, one by Brahim Diaz and another by Thibaut Courtois, tipped the balance in favor of Barça. Unlike the two previous encounters, Hansi Flick's team wasn't better than Carlo Ancelotti's.

The Whites showed that the difference between the teams' play isn't as big as many thought. Madridism has reasons to be proud of their own, despite the defeat. However, the anger after losing a final is always present.

Now it's time to get up and think about what's next. Only LaLiga remains, beyond the Club World Cup that takes place in mid-June. The team is still alive in the domestic championship and will have to beat Barça on matchday 35 to keep real chances.

Four-Point Distance

The distance between both teams is four points. In Valdebebas, there are those who think that if they win the five remaining matches, the team will end up as champions. Obviously, it won't be easy, but this theory is defended by many, including some heavyweights of the entity.

It should be noted that Flick's team, who also have the Champions League in between, will have to visit Espanyol's stadium and San Mamés. Absolutely anything can happen, and last night it was shown that this Madrid can stand up to Barça.

There will be time to think about the next season and what changes will occur. There will be news both in arrivals and departures. However, it's not the time to focus on that.
