Messi cry’s out loud
The club and league’s leading goalscorer and top assist man had some strong and interesting words on his club’s failure to secure the league title for a third, consecutive season. He literally told the entire club they are “weak”!
Unquestionably things from top to bottom at the club need changing. For the club captain to come out and have such a powerful message to say out about himself, the rest of the players, and the hierarchy is a cause for concern. This displays his discomfort at losing the Spanish crown after leading for a larger part of the season.
Madrid took total advantage
Congratulations to Zidane and Real Madrid. At one point it was going so bad for him he was named as the manager most likely to lose his job. He put his head down, tightened his laces, and turned things around gracefully.
They took advantage of the restart of Spanish football, winning every game back-to-back. Sergio Ramos expressed this perfectly post-match.

"The aim to win the games after lockdown, this is the reward. To win 10 games on the bounce deserves a lot of credit. It’s been a strange season but our objective was very clear once the league restarted, we wanted to win every game.We didn’t want to depend on others and we had no doubts on the pitch. It’s difficult to win every game. Every match is difficult but this is the reward for all of our hard work. 34 leagues and I’m very happy with my fifth title. (Via: Sky Sports)"
