5 reasons why Real Madrid could go trophyless this season

#5 Too many overachievers

Copa Del Rey was the only trophy missing from Real's clutches in 2018Real Madrid have clearly been the team to beat in the last two seasons. Their form, intent and style of play raised the standards of being a European Champion. The team is studded with an exceptional group of stars.

In Ronaldo, Bale and Benzema they have the deadliest attack in Europe. In Modric, Kroos and Casemiro they boast the most balanced engine room in the world. Their full backs have been in an unmatched stride and Sergio Ramos in every sense has been a leader.

Consequently, they have won literally "everything". There is no piece of silverware left unattained by these players. It is possible that the players have a feeling of being the "overachievers". What could possibly be better than defending the Champions League crown and being the FIFA Club World Cup Champions in the same season?

Thus, the players feel it to be harsh on themselves when they are criticised for some mistakes. Real need a set of players who have that hunger for success. The youngsters who are ready to spill their blood on the pitch. The players who are desperate to justify their credentials.
