So, a Clasico CDR Final It Is
This match is Los Blancos’ best chance at silverware this season, even though it doesn’t come at the best possible moment, with the known controversy and all. Yet, Madrid face the team that has given them nightmares in two games this season and must play their best game to stand a chance.

Now, we do have some drama with the whole anti-referee campaign going on. In fact, the other day we were discussing the possibility that Real Madrid wouldn’t play in the final to protest.
And Speaking of Said Controversy…
‼️ ️Javier Tebas (La Liga president): “This is not football, this is controlling power. Shameless. Real Madrid don’t protest, they push. They don’t complain, they threaten. They don’t raise concern, they punish. They don’t want to improve football, they want to control it.” pic.twitter.com/VoxUpEsjv5
