Real Madrid Win Super League

Its finally official, although we have known for quite some time, our winner of the inaugural Batalla De Titanes: Super League is goes to this seasons most consistent player - JM.

Most pundits agreed SB would enter this League season with the favouritism tag sitting safely in his left pocket, but it wasn't long into Round 1 of games when it all began to unravel for SB and his Barcelona men.

Its been a super disappointing season for SB, who will do well just to keep his job for next season, as it wasn't just the number of losses they managed to accumulate over the 1st half of the season in particular - it was the manner in which they occurred.

Although they definitely improved at the back end of the season, when it was clear the League was already won by Real Madrid. However it was the early struggles which most people will remember about this campaign for Barcelona.
It was clear SB had struggled early to adapt to a new system of play, or perhaps a hangover loomed over his players from last seasons double success. Whatever the case, SB refused to take responsibility for the poor forms and dismal performances of his team and for this has surely lost many fans.

On the flip side, our Champion, JM has had a season to remember. His Real Madrid team have stepped up under the new system, even burying a few demons by finally defeating arch nemesis Bayern Munich several rounds ago. And who can forget their biggest achievement this year - the biggest Clasico result in history - the 5 nil embarrassment of Barcelona.

Despite this being a strange kind of year - with no official League or Cup tournament/league fixtures - we have still been treated to some lovely football at times and with the announcement of the return of Super League for another and perhaps final season - we can be assured another brilliant league prior to the World Cup in July.

Can JM and Real Madrid take the prize again - or will SB find a way to return to previous dominance.
We can't wait.

Real Madrid continue to celebrate
