When the season started, two Spanish stalwarts were coming afresh from a season that promised them nothing but despair. Real Madrid is on an ascent while Barcelona has been ringing the bells of despair.
While one of them went forward with a decent revamp, the other started nosediving into an abyss of doom and gloom that worsened with every passing day.
The latter being Barcelona still struggled while Los Merengues is on a train to ascent and it shoots faster every day than the one before.
They capped off their last European night with a glittering display over Sheriff Tiraspol who managed to upset them in the first leg of the contest.
A glimpse at Real Madrid’s heroics last night
David Alaba opened the scoring for the Spaniards around the half an hour mark while Toni Kroos doubled the cushion in the dying embers of the first half.
On the other side of the breather, it was their seasoned French marksman, Karim Benzema who completed the rout in style.
With every passing game, Real Madrid has looked better than the last and Carlo Ancelotti has very astutely pulled the strings of destruction. His laser-like acumen has still not failed him and the players are slowly taking shape in the form of a family.
Twitter was exhilarated to see Real Madrid pump out a masterclass last night and book their berth in the European Round of 16’s.
