I dont get the pessimism from either side. Anything can happen. Be a little optimistic. ( even if I hope for the exact opposite of course).
Madrid are a momentum team, especially this side. They built it up after Clasico against poorer sides based on clean sheets and good performances. Then Eibar happened and slow climb back up to optimum form. Incidentally, almost every time squandered by a defensive error from Marcelo. It's just sad because they accumulated to so many points lost along the way. Last 9 games with Marcelo as a starter - 1W 2D 6L...
There's little chance for anything positive from him if any team can come in and exploit him in a bad moment.
