Real are unlikely to win a trophy this season as there are problems in the team that stretch well beyond the manager, as the decision to fire Xabi Alonso and promote Alvaro Arbeloa has only put more turmoil in the capital.

Can Barcelona win La Liga by winning El Clasico?
Yes, if they haven’t already.
Barcelona have an 11-point lead on Real Madrid heading into Week 34, when Barca will go to Osasuna on May 2. A win would boost their lead to 14 before Real visit Espanyol the following day. With just 15 points left to win, a Real loss or draw would give Barca the crown.
If Barca were to lose at Osasuna and Real win at Espanyol, the point difference would be eight and both teams would still have 12 points available heading into the Clasico. Real could pull to five points with three matches left by winning at Barca, while the Blaugranas could win the league by moving 11 points clear with a win.
Now if both teams win in Week 34, Barca can still win the league by a win in the Clasico.
Will Kylian Mbappe play in El Clasico?
Kylian Mbappe may not be able to feature for Real in the Clasico and perhaps again this season.
The French superstar asked to be subbed out of Real’s draw with Real Betis in Week 33, and is considered a doubt for the May 10 affair.
Mbappe has 24 goals in 28 league games this season to lead La Liga, and he’s been a thorn in Barca’s side during his career. Mbappe has 12 goals in 10 games against Barca, though six came in four games with PSG.
