#1 Real Madrid are the best team in the world, bar none
Trending
Madrid is a team that has not lost a single match this season. They are unbeaten in 12 La Liga games and 4 Champions League fixtures – their last defeat in a competitive match was against Wolfsburg on 7th April this year.
Under Zinedine Zidane, who took charge on 4th January, Real have lost only 2 games out of 45, winning 34 and drawing 9. No team in the world has a better record in this calendar year.
Madrid’s strength in depth was on full display as they went into the game with their third and fourth-choice centrebacks (Varane and Nacho), and without Karim Benzema or Alvaro Morata up front. This is a team which also has the luxury of benching James Rodriguez – a player worth €65 million in the transfer market.
It is, therefore, surprising that Real Madrid are not currently being considered as the world’s best club side by a large section of football fans. Despite their triumph in the Champions League last season, there are football fans who are convinced that they won the tournament due to the luck of the draw, and not by virtue of being the best club.
They have beaten every opponent they have come across in the past year, and it is time that more people gave them their due as the world’s most in-form team today.
