Villarato!
If we look at things from Real's perspective:
If they lose against us again on Saturday and Ajax somehow kicks them out from CL, it's season over. Absolutely over.
Part of me wants to see it happen to see how much patience everyone in the squad and backstage has towards the media. They would automatically flip the switch to the rumors. Fans and socios would demand for heads to roll. That sort of end, albeit doomsday scenario, may well be necessary.
I don't see any signs of Solari being able to bounce back in a series of such tough fixtures. That month period of momentum cannot be salvaged anymore. Every one of our forwards relies on confidence for scoring. Can't do it if you scored one goal in 2 weeks, and it wasn't even from open play.
If we lose it all, I wouldn't be surprised we tore everything up and started summer early. Manager normally first to go. Sadly for Santi.
