So… The Expected Result
Real Madrid fought, alright. Was it a good performance? In my opinion, no. But they tried. It was, however, once again clear, that Barcelona are simply a better team this season.
We knew. We saw it coming. But, given that this was a good chance at avoiding a trophyless season, the team would put in a good performance. Granted, it was closer this time.

And… Yeah, I Think We Know a Change is Coming
Brazilian Federation, very confident to get the green light for Carlo Ancelotti as new head coach.
He’d join before the Clubs World Cup, clear indication from Brazil.
Federation emissaries remain in Spain to agree deal, waiting for Real Madrid decision/steps. pic.twitter.com/mWrsyweZWJ
