Live Football 18th April - Real Madrid was double-killed by Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-finals, and the defending champion failed to reach the semi-finals. Simon Jordan, a commentator for talkSPORT, believes this is a very normal thing.
He said, "This Real Madrid is not the best team in Europe. They are not even the best team in the domestic league, although Real Madrid's performance in the previous few seasons was the best on the European continent." But a true hero doesn't talk about his past glory. We can only judge them by their current performance. Real Madrid's performance in La Liga is not the best either. They won't win the La Liga championship. They lost 0-4 to Barcelona, and Real Madrid has already been defeated by many teams.
When it comes to the Gunners' prospects in the Champions League, Simon Jordan said, "I have no intention of belittling Arsenal's performance, but I think their coach still lacks some experience." Yes, Arteta won a cup final (the 2019-20 FA Cup final where Arsenal beat Chelsea 2-1), but Lampard was still very immature at that time and he was also an inexperienced manager.
After 31 rounds of La Liga, Barcelona leads Real Madrid by 4 points. The 35th round will witness the second leg of the Spanish "El Clasico" this season, with Barcelona hosting Real Madrid at home.
