"Do you think we were prepared for those four games in such a short space of time?"
"Looking back now, maybe not,"
"Looking at it with perspective, you think that maybe there were some bad things, but also some very good things."
"But after 15 years, people still remember those Clasicos,"
Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona dominated Real Madrid across several high-profile matches, producing heavy defeats such as 6-2 at the Bernabeu and 5-0 at Camp Nou. Four Clasicos in May 2011 — a league match, the Copa del Rey final, and two Champions League semi-finals — created an intense schedule that may have strained Real Madrid’s preparation. Retrospective assessments acknowledge preparation shortcomings while also noting positive aspects within the team. Real Madrid’s sole triumph in that stretch came in the Copa del Rey final, decided by a Cristiano Ronaldo goal. The Clasicos from that period remain memorable even after 15 years.
