Real Madrid still have one major objective left after El Clasico humiliation

The mood around Real Madrid could hardly be lower after their defeat to Barcelona officially handed the La Liga title to their biggest rivals.

A 0-2 loss in El Clasico at Spotify Camp Nou not only ended Madrid’s hopes of retaining the championship but also affirmed that this season has fallen far below expectations at the Santiago Bernabeu.

No league title. No European success. No domestic silverware.

And yet, with three matches remaining, there is still one objective left for Real Madrid to secure before the campaign finally comes to an end.

Pushing for Spanish Super Cup qualification

Even though the title race is over, Madrid are still fighting to guarantee their place in next season’s Spanish Super Cup.

Although for now, the situation remains comfortably in their hands, things could change rapidly in the coming weeks.

With nine points still available, Real Madrid only need to finish second in the table to secure qualification for the competition, something that now looks extremely likely.

The Los Blancos currently sit eight points ahead of Villarreal and need just one more point from their remaining matches to mathematically confirm their place.
