Ma ke ala i nā lumi hoʻololi, i ka manawa i hōʻailona ai ʻo De Burgos Bengoetxea i ka hopena o ka hapa mua, holo pololei ʻo Benzema no Camavinga. ʻO ke kamaʻilio koʻikoʻi a me ke ʻano ma waena o nā mea ʻelua i hōʻike i ka pōʻino o ka pāʻani i loaʻa i ka hui keʻokeʻo. ʻO Carvajal, kekahi o nā mea kaulana loa, ua hoʻopuka pū ʻo ia i kona huhū ma ka ʻōlelo ʻana i ka mea hoʻopiʻi nāna i puhi i ka mea ʻike ʻo wai. Ua pau ka pilihua.
Ma hope o ka lanakila ʻana i ka Copa del Rey i ʻApelila 2014, ua lanakila ʻo Real Madrid i nā hopena he 19 me kahi moʻolelo maikaʻi o 17 mau lanakila a ʻelua mau poho. ʻElima Poʻokela, hoʻokahi Copa del Rey, ʻehā Hui Pū ʻIa Honua, ʻehā ʻElepa Super Cup a ʻekolu kīʻaha Super Spanish. Ua nalowale ʻelua wale nō ʻo ia, ʻo ka 2014 Spanish Super Cup a me ka 2018 European Super Cup, ʻelele i Atlético de Madrid. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka streak no Ancelotti, ʻaʻole i nalowale i ka hope mai 2010. Ua keʻokeʻo loa nā helu helu, akā i ka pō nei ua hoʻokolokolo ʻo Madrid i kekahi o nā mea ʻino loa i hoʻomanaʻo ʻia i ka wā lōʻihi. He 17 lākou o 20.
ʻO ka hāʻule ʻana, ma waho aʻe o ka hana ʻana ma ka ʻāina ma Madrid, ua hōʻike ʻia he aneane hiki ʻole ke kau i nā makahiki he ʻumi i hala iho nei, ua pālua ʻia ka pōʻino o ka hana ʻana iā Barcelona, me nā mea a pau e pili ana i kēia. I ka waena o Ianuali, i ka waena o ka League i alakaʻi ʻia e nā Catalans i ʻekolu mau helu, a me ka Club World Cup a me ka Champions League ma kahi kokoke i ke kihi, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka pā ma mua o ka metala. Ua nalowale lākou i hoʻokahi Spanish Super Cup, akā ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻike ʻole ʻo Madrid aia i Riyadh hiki ke lawe i kahi kaumaha nui i kēia kau. A hele mai lākou ma nā pihi.
ʻO ka mea maikaʻi wale nō i hōʻike ʻia ma ka hope o Madrid, a i kēia pule ma Riyadh, ʻo ia ka hoʻihoʻi piha ʻana o Courtois. ʻO ia ka mea maikaʻi loa i ka semifinal kūʻē iā Valencia a pale aku i kahi pepehi kanaka nui aʻe e kūʻē iā Barcelona. Ma hope o ka hapa mua o ka manawa i hōʻailona ʻia e kahi ʻeha ʻeha haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa a me ka World Cup me kahi hewa kūpono ʻole ma kāna ʻaoʻao, aia ʻo Thibaut i ka wikiwiki holo. ʻO ka pilikia, ʻo ke koena o kāna mau hoa hui e hoʻomau me ko lākou mau poʻo a me nā wāwae i Qatar.
Ua hoʻolauleʻa ʻia ke poʻo inoa mua o Xavi ma ke ʻano he kumu aʻoaʻo Barça ma ke ʻano ma ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo, akā ma nā kū. ʻO ka hapa nui o nā poʻe keʻokeʻo, akā ʻaʻole nā Saudis mai nā hui, akā mai nā mea pāʻani. Inā pono e hoʻololi ʻia ka quoita ma waena o ka hālāwai e hoʻolauleʻa ai, ua hana ʻia. A ua hiki mai. He aha nā boos i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka pāʻani, i hoʻohuli ʻia i ka leo nui a me nā ʻano o ka hauʻoli. Ua hele ka poʻe i ka King Fahd Stadium mai ka hoʻōho ʻana "Benzema, Benzema" i ke oli ʻana iā Messi, ʻaʻole i hele mai, akā ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua hānau ʻia ka lanakila i makemake nui ʻia no Barcelona ma Paris.
