Is it a double emptiness? Real Madrid trails by 7 points in La Liga, and the Champions League comeback is difficult, with the Copa del Rey elimination.

Real Madrid and Manchester City are rivals on the Champions League stage. Real Madrid has eliminated Manchester City for two consecutive seasons. Both teams ended last season without any major trophies. This season, Manchester City has already won the League Cup and is poised to win the FA Cup, but Real Madrid faces the bleak prospect of another season empty of titles (La Liga, Copa del Rey, Champions League, and Supercopa).

Real Madrid suffered two consecutive defeats within three days. Last weekend in La Liga Round 30, they lost 2-1 away to relegation-threatened Mallorca, leaving Real Madrid trailing the leader Barcelona by as much as 7 points in the league standings. This essentially means Real Madrid has fallen behind in the title race this season. In the midweek Champions League quarter-final first leg, they lost 2-1 at home to Bayern Munich, who are in exceptional form this season, making it very difficult for Real Madrid to turn the tide at the Allianz Arena in the second leg.

In the Copa del Rey, Real Madrid was unexpectedly defeated in the quarter-finals by the second-tier team Albacete. Coupled with losing the Supercopa final 3-2 to rival Barcelona, this indicates a high probability that Real Madrid will end the season without any trophies. Thus, there is a possibility of experiencing a "double emptiness" of major titles, which would be a significant failure for the prestigious club.

Fans have remarked that it's not surprising Real Madrid faces two consecutive seasons without trophies, as the squad has serious issues. Firstly, the defensive line is not up to championship standards. Secondly, the attack is overloaded with left-wingers and lacks a central striker; playing with either Vinícius or Mbappé might actually improve fluidity. Additionally, the midfield lacks creative offensive power, a poor consequence of not replenishing world-class midfielders after Toni Kroos retired and Luka Modrić departed.
