As: Barcelona s Champions League is eliminated, a "double-edged sword" for Real Madrid

After Barcelona was eliminated from the Champions League on May 8, Ass said that this was a "double-edged sword" for Real Madrid.

Real Madrid is training to prepare for the weekend's national derby, with all available players in good shape, and Barcelona was eliminated by Inter in the Champions League semi-final, which is both an incentive and a warning for Real Madrid.

In the training session on Wednesday morning, Real Madrid was full of optimism because Barcelona was defeated by Inter in the Champions League the night before. Obviously, Real Madrid and Barcelona are mortal enemies of mutual influence. The success of one side is bad news for the other side, which is fully reflected in Real Madrid's training ground. They hung a banner with "Thank you Inter" in front of the training ground.

Real Madrid's training atmosphere seemed a little relaxed because Barcelona was eliminated from the Champions League. Overall, Barcelona lost the Champions League before Sunday's national derby, which is obviously more favorable for Real Madrid, as Barcelona players will be in a low mood.

Despite this, Real Madrid also knows it is a double-edged sword: Barcelona may be frustrated and injured by the Champions League elimination, but it may also be more motivated to fight for the La Liga title, the most important trophy they can win this season.

For this showdown, Barcelona only needs to tie to maintain a four-point lead, while Real Madrid must win. Ancelotti's team will have to take the initiative.

Injuries have been a major problem facing Real Madrid recently, and it remains the case. Six players were missing in training Wednesday: Militon, Carvajal, Alaba, Rudiger, Kamavenga and Mendy.

Real Madrid already know they can't rely on these players in the league, but some of them can participate in the Club World Cup from mid-June to mid-July.

Real Madrid's current players are in good shape, and although it is painful to be eliminated by Arsenal in the Champions League, it also has a positive impact: there is enough time to train and get tired players back as soon as possible.

If the Barcelona players are in a downturn and in poor health on Sunday, Real Madrid will face it in full shape. And there will be no lack of motivation, because this is Real Madrid's last chance to compete for the championship this season.
