While consecutive goals don't mean that Pellegri has fitted perfectly into his new squad, Real Madrid still have room for improvement in a number of areas based on their actual performances on the pitch. However, a relatively relaxed schedule due to the strength of their opponents, and Raphael Varane's complete return from injury, have kept the La Liga giants in good form throughout February, achieving ideal results on all three fronts.

In the Copa del Rey, after winning 1-1 away, the Galaxy returned to the Bernabeu Stadium on the 19th for the second leg. As a result, they did not give Sevilla any chance to turn the tables and scored two goals in the first half to almost seal the right to qualify. The final score of 3-1 and the overall score of 4-2 proved that Real Madrid is the more qualified side to advance to the final.

According to the schedule set by the Spanish Football Federation, the final will be played on the evening of April 20 at the Mestalla Stadium, the home stadium of Valencia, against Barcelona, as expected. The latter, after a narrow 1-0 win over each of the two legs, eliminated Atletico Madrid and entered the final stage of the domestic cup competition for the third year in a row.

The addition of a national derby to the two league meetings was great news for fans around the world, and Xavi and his disciples were the happiest since the result was officially revealed, as they felt they had finally had their chance to take revenge. For the 4-1 defeat at the Bernabeu in the first half, Barça's days for a long time after that could definitely be called hellish level, and now in addition to the home league, there is another chance to prove to everyone that they are the best team in Spain, no wonder the Catalan media have already started to build up for the final, which will be played in two months.

In the Champions League, Real Madrid, who played in the first leg of the quarterfinals on February 12, also lived up to the hard work they had put into the group stage, beating Lyon, who have been in an up-and-down form this season and are in fourth place in Ligue 1 2-1, away 2-1 to basically lock in the qualification for the next round.

It is worth mentioning that Bayern Munich, who finished second in the group only because of the comparison of the results of the competition, had an extremely difficult battle with Manchester United at Old Trafford, and the final score of the home team won 1-0 made the second leg between the two sides full of uncertainties, and also made all the Meilinger happy to have won the group again.

In the eight knockout matches, only Manchester United and Bayern Munich seem to maintain great suspense after the first leg, and other favorites such as Barcelona, Manchester City, and Juventus have also won away from home, and reaching the quarterfinals can be said to be a sure thing.

As for the second team in the group Atletico Madrid, the only team to win the first game in this round, it won a 3-0 victory at its home stadium, and Arsenal, who was regarded by the outside world as equal to them before the game, was disgraced.

Seven of the quarter-finals seem to have been confirmed after the first 90 minutes, which is rare in previous seasons, but with the more favourites in the quarter-finals, the quarter-finals will be filled with strong matches, which is good news for fans who are eager to see more exciting football.

As for the team's fundamentals in the domestic league, Real Madrid have completed three league games in the middle of the month after beating Celta Vigo in early February, and have won all of them.

With a 3-1 win at Getafe, a 5-0 win at home to Real Betis and a 3-1 win away to Espanyol, the Galacticos have made it five wins in a row in the league since losing to Valencia a little over a month ago, and took advantage of Barca's surprise draw in the Catalan derby to rehabilitate the difference between the two sides back to a goal. The four-point gap allows Real Madrid to relax their nerves for a moment and prepare for the difficult schedule ahead of them with a better mentality.

Compared to February, when the opponents were relatively good at playing two games a week, Real Madrid had a hard time in March, as they had to travel north to Bilbao to the hellish San Mamés Stadium to challenge the Basque Lions, one of their four bitter masters. Like Sevilla's Pizjuan, the venue has been a painful place for the Galacticos on many occasions, winning one of their last 14 visits, drawing only four times and losing nine times, including a 0-3, two 1-4 and two 0-2.

But in order to continue to hold on to the hard-won points advantage, Li Mudi has no choice but to further stimulate the team's potential, so that the team can step on the green field that can bring great pressure to the visiting team with high morale and excellent competitive condition.

Due to the adherence to the use of only players with Basque roots, the team that dominated the entire national football scene in the early days of La Liga gradually lagged behind the more open Real Madrid Barcelona in terms of competitiveness.

In the 2006-07 season, Athletic Bilbao's performance suffered its biggest crisis since its founding in 1898, and they caught up with the "year of chaos" that was rare in a century, and the 20 teams participating in La Liga that year were extremely close in strength, and without a significant regression from last season, their ranking fell from 12th last year to 17th, and they were on the verge of entering the second division. You must know that since the official creation of La Liga in 1928, Athletic Bilbao has never experienced relegation, along with the top two teams in the Spanish Super League.

And if the scope of this supreme honor is expanded to the five major leagues, it is just adding the name of Inter Milan as a club, such as Bayern, Juventus, Manchester United and other traditional giants have a black history of working hard in the second league, which can also confirm the greatness of the Basque Lions. (PS: Strictly speaking, Bayern failed to join in the first two seasons of the Bundesliga, not because of how poor their level was, but because the German Football Association stipulated that a city could only have one Bundesliga team at that time, and Munich 1860 was at the peak of team history at that time, which led to the Southern Stars could only play in the lower leagues for two years before being allowed to be promoted)

However, in 2025, Athletic Bilbao's academy will once again be a little lacking, in addition to the 27-year-old winger Iningo Córdoba and central defender Yunai Nunez, two stars with current ability of more than 150, only a few people in their team such as youth youngsters Dani Vivian and Oyihan Sansett can barely reach the level of 140, and the overall strength has declined rapidly. Villarivre and the others will have consequences.

During last year's summer window and the winter window just over a month ago, several potential newcomers in their squad were also surrounded by transfer rumours, and although they were eventually retained for various reasons, it inevitably affected the players' form.

Fortunately, no matter how the team's lineup changes and how turbulent the state is, the traditional spirit of the Basque people with unique Basque tenacity and courage is still very well preserved, and it is precisely by relying on this kind of great momentum that the overall strength can only be regarded as the bottom five level of La Liga, and they can still temporarily rank thirteenth in the standings.

A closer look at the team's situation reveals that their home and away performances have formed a huge contrast, with 22 of the 28 points they have so far drawn coming from games played on their own doorstep, and just looking at the home average of 1.83 points per game, it is definitely the level that can rank in the top seven of the entire La Liga.

Therefore, when strong teams such as Barcelona and Atletico Madrid visit the San Mames stadium, they do not dare to be careless, and Real Madrid, which is suspected of being cursed by the fan, will naturally be more careful, otherwise it is really possible to follow in the footsteps of the past many seasons and return here with hatred.

Considering that the suspense of the Champions League in three days can be said to be not very big, as long as you play steadily, you should be able to advance easily, so Li Mudi did not make any reservations this weekend, and wrote all the best players into the starting list, hoping to maintain the good momentum of the winning streak, and at the same time break the curse of the team's soft feet as soon as they set foot on this field.

As a result, the tension in the battle, which attracted a lot of attention, only lasted about 20 minutes, and in the face of the home team's usual tough fighting tactics, the Real Madrid coach's strategy of further speeding up the movement of the ball paid off immediately after the first adjustment period in the fitness of the opposing players.

Mbappe forced his way past a defender on the right flank after receiving a through ball from Febas and then cut inside, then shook off space in the box with a simple change of direction and fired straight into the box. The ball raced into the far post to give the Galacticos the lead.

The seemingly sudden goal disrupted the pre-match strategy of Athletic Bilbao coach Iglesias and forced the hosts to step up their attacking efforts after the restart, and it was understandable that they would face Real Madrid, who were the best at counter-attacking.

At the start of the second half, Raphael Varane opened the scoring from a corner to extend the gap to two goals, and the corner was also the result of a quick counter-attack from the visitors.

In the 63rd minute, the home team's defender Uriat received a red card for a reckless foul, causing Athletic Bilbao, who could only play 11 out of 10, to completely lose the last chance to save themselves.

In the following game, Real Madrid were in complete control of the situation, and then Asensio and substitute Manuel Pellegri scored a goal each, and took a victory from their own place of doom with a score of 4-0, which was beyond the expectations of most people. And this score can also be ranked at the top of the biggest score in Real Madrid's history against Biba, although it is not as good as the 7-1 game in 1980, but it is enough to make the Basques, who are not friendly to the capital team, sad for a long time.

After the game, almost all the Spanish sports media commented on this key battle, from which it was possible to pay attention to the development and use of the club's own youth training in the current football environment, and used Athletic Bilbao as an example to explain how undesirable it is to constantly sell their own good players.

It's just that this cliché hasn't caused much repercussions, because since the capital market invaded the football circle and completely gained a foothold, running a club is actually not much different from running a general company, and not letting those small clubs or clubs with huge financial pressure give up the pursuit of transfer funds is like forcing them to go bankrupt.

With the increase in various operating costs and the continued slowdown in the growth of world consumption levels, even the old powerhouses like Biba are under great financial pressure, let alone those struggling in the lower leagues. Don't rely on selling potential newcomers in your own team to earn euros, you let them go and drink the Mistral?

Even from the perspective of a vested interest like Real Madrid, Li Mudi can't agree with the unrealistic views of the media, but the whole environment is like this, except for being able to give himself the greatest blessings, he has no ability to change anything.

Since entering 2025, in the past two months, Spain alone has broken the news that as many as five clubs have fallen into bankruptcy and liquidation due to serious financial losses, which has attracted widespread attention from all walks of life.

However, correspondingly, after the semi-annual financial statements of the world's top giants such as Real Madrid and Barcelona were made public, everyone saw how nourishing their lives were, and the resulting topic of the growing gap between the rich and the poor in football also became the focus of debate in Europe for a period of time afterward.

However, under the tremendous pressure from the outside world, Li Mudi ordered the team to switch to a low-key mode, diving into all the attention and leading Real Madrid to a wave of winning streaks before the first international break of the year.

The Champions League beat Lyon 2-0 at home and progressed to the quarterfinals without difficulty; After that, he also won three games and three victories in the league, including a 7-1 home victory over Real Sociedad, which ranked sixth in the standings, which made the entire European football world a little frightened for a while.
