A bit lucky,but who cares,they will run out of it.
Especially against Milan. Spot on.
Sure, place in the table doesn't play on the field either. Yet somehow they were considered a first big test for Real Madrid cruising past La Liga teams without a gasp and TBH Madrid did outplay them, but scored lucky goals which brings us to the obvious conclusion.
What were the spirits before the game at Bernabeu on this forum ? Positive ? Even madridistas didn't expect the game to go down so well and we expected a sloppy win, maybe a draw, but never a domination. The only things that seem to have changed since then is Milan's form and reputation, their view in the supporters' eyes.
Well I'm not bragging about them being good, the point I'm trying to make is that some people considered them at least a decent side, but changed their mind for definite after they had seen Madrid, a team which was getting embarrassed by nearly everyone, beating them. Surprising change of view, isn't it ?

Not a really good team, but a decent side which we didn't manage to beat last year, but did so this year even after they've made reinforcements to their striking force which means we ARE improving when it comes to comparisons with big teams, which means that we will be a tougher team to beat than if you would look at us in last, how long has it been ? 5-6 years ? And if we happen to draw or win against a better team, say Barca or a team we might meet in 1/8s or quarterfinals then it's not likely to be because of luck.
We might have gotten lucky with scoring goals against Milan, but nobody gave us all of the chances, we created them for ourselves. Technically, you could even argue that we didn't go through last year, because we were not lucky enough after Higuain hit that damn post. How would the landscape look like if we went through ? Don't want to imagine and can't be asked to either.
