One reason Madrid can’t dominate the league is that the Champions League is always the priority. They enter every season with that obsession, it’s why it’s very easy for Mbappe to choose them because they have the same obsession.
For most clubs, winning the league is the ultimate goal. For Madrid, the league is almost a requirement, while the Champions League is the obsession. Everything is judged through that lens.
A club chasing 38 league games with maximum consistency is different from a club building its entire season around nights in Europe. Squad rotations, player management, transfer decisions, even the atmosphere around the club are influenced by the Champions League.
That’s why you’ll sometimes see Madrid drop points against teams they should beat, then a few days later produce a masterclass against big European team. Their focus has always been on peaking for the biggest moments.
It’s not that they can’t dominate the league, it’s that their standards are different. At Madrid, a league title is celebrated. A Champions League title becomes history. That’s why they have built a culture where Europe comes first, and everything else follows.

The Ronaldo hate is funny. Most of these so called football fans never watched prime Ronaldo. Their entire football knowledge is Messi won the World Cup. Football didn’t start in 2022. 🤡
