Stadium	As the host of a World Cup final, Champions League final and even Copa Libertadores final, the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu is one of the most historic stadiums in all of world football. Since 1947, it has been Real Madrid’s home and it has gone through a series of transformations since then. The current capacity is 81,000 and it’ll stay similar even though renovation work is currently taking place. The work being done at the stadium is more so to improve the facilities, to add more hospitality options and to build more hotels around the ground. The atmosphere there can be mixed, with lots of tourists and with some fans who aren’t shy about showing their upset if things aren’t going well. The club has installed a singing section behind the south goal in recent years and they constantly sing and support the team, with the aim of encouraging the rest of the stadium to join in.
Recent History	Real Madrid are the most successful club in Spain and in Europe. No other team can match their tally of LaLiga titles or their European Cups. In recent times Real Madrid have dominated in Europe by winning the Champions League in 2013/14, 2015/16, 2016/17 and 2017/18. They won LaLiga in 2019/20.

The 2022/23 campaign was a disappointing one overall for Real Madrid, even though they won the UEFA Super Cup, Club World Cup and Copa del Rey. The essentially gave up on the league title by February and were thrashed 4-0 as they were eliminated by Man City in the Champions League. For Real Madrid, that’s not good enough and that’s why some called for Carlo Ancelotti to be sacked. The Italian was kept on in the end, and that is concerning many in the Madrid media, as is the fact that Karim Benzema walked away and, barring the arrival of Kylian Mbappe, he won’t be adequately replaced. Jude Bellingham, Arda Guler, Fran Garcia, Brahim Diaz and Joselu have come in, and Ancelotti has experimented with a new 4-4-2 diamond formation built around Bellingham. But, it’ll largely be the same Real Madrid as last year, and it remains to be seen if that’s enough to collect major trophies. With Vinicius having taken a big step forward last season, he makes Real Madrid’s left flank one of the best in world football, and Fran Garcia should help with that too in 2023/24. Thibaut Courtois is also arguably the best in the world at his position, but Real Madrid’s leaky defence leaves him with a lot to do and the defensive lapses that occurred so often last term were also present in pre-season. This is far from the best Real Madrid side ever, but that might still be enough to win some silverware.

Target

Win the league title and go far in the Champions League. Real Madrid may not be at their strongest, but the demands and expectations remain the same and they’ll be expected to compete for the league title and Champions League, as well as in the Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup.
