Eh... Today Barcelona will 100% win against Levante and the coup will happen again. It is noteworthy that many of the teams playing in the preliminary playoffs of the Champions League suffered even when they were the favorites: in addition to Real, these are Dortmund, Juventus and Bayer.
The only team that didn't feel the blow was Dortmund, which secured second place with a good cushion. Real Madrid ruined their title race, and Juventus and Bayer Leverkusen became underdogs for a top-four finish.

But Real was never a top favorite in Champions League every season right? So they can't be counted

But anyway yes I'm also looking forward to a big thrashing of Levante so we can once more steal the spotlight.

Suddenly I don't feel so bad losing to Girona reading about the way Real lost to Osasuna!!

I was referring to the national championships. Real Madrid and the other three teams I mentioned yesterday were favorites, but they dropped points. In my opinion, this is directly related to their participation in the Champions League. Juventus are the worst off, having been destroyed in both the Champions League and Serie A, which has also worsened their situation. At least the others achieved the desired result in the Champions League.
I wonder if Atalanta will also lose today (they have a serious opponent - Napoli) or if they have managed to recover after losing to Dortmund.

Perhaps we're going to see more of such trends when we get to the knockout stages proper in the UCL, there are teams whose performance would be greatly impacted as a result of their Champions League schedules, if they are not careful it might cost them their title at the end, last season Inter Milan had to forfeit a title which was already in their grasp because they had to pay more attention to the UCL which they thought was of more importance than the Serie A, but at the end they lost both, finishing the season without a major trophy. And somehow this season it is begining to look as if we are close to experiencing same with the likes of Arsenal and some other teams in the UCL

I honestly thought that belonged to Napoli, but I guess both teams are having real struggles juggling so many different agendas (and as a result Napoli now dropped all the balls).

Me, just happy with Barca's big win, where we looked much better than our last 2 shock games. Really needed it because a 3rd loss would be a shock to the system that we might not have recovered from.
