LaLiga: Luis Figo speaks on Real Madrid going trophyless this season
by John Owen Nwachukwu · Daily PostReal Madrid icon, Luis Figo, has expressed his views regarding the possibility of the club finishing the season without any trophies.
He remarked that achieving victory in football is challenging, but emphasized that the pressure intensifies when it comes to Madrid.
Last season, Los Blancos secured the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup.
Nevertheless, they were unable to clinch the LaLiga title or the UEFA Champions League.
This season, they have not managed to acquire any trophies.
Luis Figo, the legendary figure of Real Madrid, shared his perspective on this matter, stating as reported by Madrid Universal, “People are always searching for someone to hold accountable, but I’m not privy to the dressing room dynamics.
“Being among the elite teams globally, if titles are not won over two years, it raises concerns. That’s the nature of Madrid; they are accustomed to success.
“However, winning is not guaranteed in football; it would become quite tedious, and there are other prominent teams with significant ambitions.
“Yet, at Madrid, the scrutiny is always more intense. The players consistently strive for victory; losing is far more undesirable.”
Real Madrid faced elimination in the Copa del Rey at the hands of Segunda Division team Albacete during the Round of 16. They were defeated 3-2 in the Supercopa de España final by their fierce rivals, Barcelona.
In the Champions League, Bayern Munich ousted them in the quarter-finals, triumphing 6-4 on aggregate.
Meanwhile, in LaLiga, they find themselves nine points adrift of leaders Barcelona with seven matches left to play.
