Calendar of FC Barcelona

They have happened already five years of that 4 January 2016, date that marked the beginning of the era Zinedine Zidane at the head of the Real Madrid, a club that for those times was sunk in a crisis that carried them practically to sack of LaLiga so prompt as in November of 2015, after a bochornosa defeat in Santiago Bernabéu by 0-4 in front of the Barcelona.

As it is used to to happen almost always, a defeat of that calibrate in front of the classical rival was sufficient for the dismissal of Rafa Benítez, the one who directed to the Real Madrid by second opportunity. At all, to exception of the confidence of Florentino Pérez to the French, made possible vaticinar the history that would write afterwards. With Zidane, the Madrid would finish to so alone 1 point of a galopante Barcelona that titled for the second time consecutive in the domestic championship in this season, the 2015-16.

However, the fat prize carried it to him the whites conquering Milan in front of an always difficult and laborious Athletic of Madrid by the Champions League, the first of three and of the 11 titles that has harvested the Frenchman like technician of the whites.

In spite of being for a lot of a simple "agent of groups" or of stars, was able to guide to his team to go back to win The League in 2017 when they did not do it from the 2012, and in case it was little converted to the Real Madrid in the first team in winning two Champions consecutive under the current format of the maximum European competition. Afterwards, they would be three with the won in Kiev (Ukraine).

Of these 11 titles, explain : 3 Champions, 2 Leagues, 2 Supercopas of Europe, 2 Supercopas of Spain and 2 World-wide of Clubs. All separated in two stages, after his renunciation in May 2018 and back return 10 months afterwards, after the brief step of Julen Lopetegui and Santiago Solari.

In almost the same circumstances that in January of 2016, Zidane returned with a team eclipsado again by the Barcelona in the championship suspender belt and without options to titles. It returned in March of 2019 to direct a sad team merengue by 11 parties in what it subtracted of season: the Madrid won five of these commitments, lost four and empató two, in a year that finished without League, Glass and Champions.

Later, and as it has been since Zizou heads to the whites, the Madrid did not go back to sack a season in zero. Afterwards of the stop by the advance of the pandemia of the COVID-19 in Spain and Europe, conquered another important title: LaLiga 2019-20, and also added another Supercopa of Spain.

The shadows of Zidane

1.- The Madrid of Zidane has characterised by altibajos that have engaged his stay in the white bench in different opportunities, the last and clearer produced in the present course when the team by little does not classify to 8vos of the Champions in a group that shared with the very superables in the paper Borussia Mönchengladbach, Inter of Milan and FK Shaktar Donetsk. Although it is necessary to highlight that, for the moment, again has gone out forward also in League and has closed him the door to Mauritius Pochettino.

2.- The Real Madrid has not been able to trascend in Glass of the King from the 2014, when they surpassed to the Barcelona. From his arrival fell in 2016 in front of the Almería (Dieciseisavos of final); in 2017, in front of the Celtic of Vigo (Quarter-finals); in 2018, in front of the Leganés (Quarter-finals), in 2019, in front of the Barça in semifinals and, in 2020, in front of the Real Sociedad (Quarter-finals).

3.- Another point that questioned him to Zidane is that it did not know to understand with the Welsh Gareth Bleat and the Colombian James Rodríguez, now players of the Tottenham and Everton, respectively. Although both do not happen it very well neither out of the Madrid by his injuries, inconsistencias and few participations.

The alarming is that the history seems to repeat in other players like Luka Jović or Mariano, those who do not receive minutes in front of the good performance of Benzema, the one who is loading of parties in a tightened calendar that for many will finish for happening bill.
