This has brought immense joy to the Madridismo, particularly due to the impressive performance displayed by the players in the initial months of the competition, a momentum they aim to sustain in 2024.
This achievement is noteworthy, especially considering the substantial injury challenges that Real Madrid has faced. Carlo Ancelotti and his players are presently on vacation, anticipating the commencement of 2024 and gearing up for a highly demanding schedule.
However, it’s a moment for Real Madrid to assess and reflect on everything accomplished, recognizing that for some, it might seem insufficient, given the perennial high expectations at the club.
In the retrospective analysis of the year 2023, Liverpool appears to be significantly affected. The team bid farewell at Anfield with a 1-1 draw against Arsenal.
The draw against Mikel Arteta’s team marks the conclusion of the year with Liverpool being nearly unbeaten at their iconic stadium, where only one team managed to secure victory against them. Real Madrid was the sole triumphant side at Anfield, delivering a memorable match with numerous goals that both sets of fans are unlikely to forget after the captivating display on the field.
This impactful setback is accentuated by the fact that Florentino Pérez successfully acquired Jude Bellingham from Liverpool, repeating the previous success achieved with Eduardo Camavinga and Aurélien Tchouaméni.
These disappointments for Jürgen Klopp are challenging for an institution with a storied history like Liverpool, which, in recent times, has had to endure setbacks against the prowess of Real Madrid.
