3 reasons why Real Madrid could win the treble this season

#1 They hold the advantage in the Copa Del Rey

Real Madrid got a valuable 1-1 draw away to Barcelona in the Copa del Rey semi-final

Four months ago, Real Madrid visited the Camp Nou in LaLiga for the first Clasico of the season and the scandalous result that followed is one which will live long in the memory of Real fans, as the Blaugrana totally decimated their rivals in a 5-1 humbling with Luis Suarez scoring a hat-trick.

That was the lowest point of Real in a long while and led to the termination of Lopetegui’s contract, but in signs of how much things have improved since then, Real Madrid visited the Camp Nou once more in the Copa del Rey last week and left with a 1-1 draw, with Real having the right to feel very aggrieved at having not picked up the victory.

On the night, out of favor attacker Malcom snatched a second-half equalizer to keep the tie very much in the balance and ensure there is all to play for for both sides heading into the second leg.

Real Madrid secured a draw while also scoring a valuable away goal and while it would be foolhardy to dismiss Barcelona’s chances owing to the pedigree and quality of their players, the advantage is undoubtedly with Real Madrid and if they can successfully navigate their way around Barca, they would come up against Real Betis or Valencia and would fancy their chances against either of them for a first Copa Del Rey triumph since 2014.
