I don’t know about two years. 1 year sure but ancelotti hasn’t been very convincing if you ask me. Last season real should have won the league easy with how shit Barca is and they somehow let it slip. If he gets a double this season and starts performing against Barca then I can see it but otherwise I think they should prepare for Xabi Alsonso
Because real had a better team which could defeat the best opponents in Europe. Barcelona had a better system, which is essential when going up against weaker sides. I would say that’s the biggest difference. Real could figure out all the hardest puzzles but had difficulties against weaker sides. Barcelona, the opposite. That’s also why city won last year, as stated by pep himself. They diverged from their system and became more flexible. They were also less dominant in the league but that’s part of it.
Also to be noted that Barcelona has bribed referees, and a couple seasons have been very close and such things can have big consequences
In basketball they have added a feature which forces the referees to check a situation. I think they have two checks a game. Perhaps the same thing can be added in football where the manager can check something twice a game.
