The "suspicious luck" of the Madrid in the draws of Champions

It seems that in the last years the Real Madrid is having a lot of "luck" in the draws of the rounds of eighth, fourth and, why no, also semifinals of UEFA Champions League. So much "luck" that some people, so many fans of the FC Barcelona as of the rest of European clubs, would be asking at present if, after to the Real Madrid have touched him the Wolfsburgo like opponent in the round of chambers of the Champions 2015-16, is possible that exist some type of theory of the conspiracy or bond between the directive of the Real Madrid and the group of people commissioned to carry out the draws of the UEFA.

Gianluca Zambrotta has been the attendant to extract the balls this time, in a draw in which the Real Madrid could finish confronting to FC Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City or Athletic of Madrid like rivals more powerful. But no. It had to go out writing in the paper, after Zambrotta unscrewed the "bolita", the modest Wolfsburgo, one of the two "cenicientas" of 1/4 of final together with the Benfica, that finally will be the rival of the Bayern Munich in said round.

The "luck" of the Real Madrid causes that from "FCBN" have wanted to throw a look backwards in the time to compare to the rivals of the Real Madrid in Champions League along the last seasons, always saving the maximum respect to all they. And it is that it is possible that the Wolfsburgo can put in problems to the ones of Zinedine Zidane -and even more seeing the sad current version of the Real Madrid-, but the reality is that the draw could have been a lot worse for the interests of Florentino Pérez, Emilio Butragueño and the fans merengue.

If the Real Madrid has accessed to fourth deleting previously to the Rome, the past season (2014-15) measured in eighth to the Schalke 04 -surpassed the eliminatory by the minimum after a 3-4 in the Bernabéu-, in chambers to the Athletic and in semifinals to the Juventus. These two last teams are "rocky" and competitive, is true, but for the time being would not be to the level of PSG, Bayern Munich or FC Barcelona. In the season 2013-14, the whites won the title deleting in eighth to the Galatasaray, in chambers to the Borussia Dortmund, in semifinals to the Bayern Munich and in the final to the Athletic. A really powerful rival "" as they are the Bavarians in said rounds, although in the final against the Athletic -that deleted to the Barça- there was extention.

And what there is of the campaign 2012-13? A feeble Manchester United in eighth, the Galatasaray in quarter-finals and the Borussia Dortmund in semifinals, that was the one who took down them of the competition. In the campaign 2011-12, in case it was little, the merengues confronted to the CSKA of Moscow in eighth, to the Apoel of Nikosea in quarter-finals and to the Bayern Munich in semifinals, when it lived the famous penalti failed by Sergio Bouquets that finish repercutiendo in the white elimination. In definite,can not say with absolute certainty that to the Real Madrid always touch him easy rivals in the rounds of eighth, fourth and semifinals during the last five seasons. What is clear, however, is that they could touch him opponents much stronger -this is the Champions- in said rounds.

And for this, only is necessary to see the last season the FC Barcelona, in which it had to heave with the title deleting in eighth to the Manchester City, in chambers to Paris Saint-Germain, in semifinals to the Bayern Munich and in the final to the Juventus of Turín. Neither Galatasarays, neither Dortmunds, neither Apoels, neither Schalkes neither Wolfsburgos, with the maximum respect to all they and splitting of the base that only they are being compared in this publication with the "big "" and powerful clubs of Europe nowadays, so much to historical level like sportive.

It can that it was thus, by this bitter feeling that to the Real Madrid "always" touches him the easy rival, that the big majority of the fans culés wanted a Classical against the FC Barcelona in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League 2015-16. Finally it will not be able to be. But if both clubs follow advancing... Who know if they could see the faces in semifinals.
