Unlike Liverpool, Real Madrid Will Always Walk Alone

JAKARTA - Remember. Always like this. Every Real Madrid fan feels the same way; their favorite team is often seen as never winning on their own merits. Yes, no win is recognized as clean.

Everything is stained. Champion, yes, but ... mud is forced onto the white jersey of Los Blancos.

It is a story that has been written in recent decades, a parallel story in the course of the club since the outbreak of the Civil War in 1939 and the signing of Alfredo di Stefano 14 years ago.

What makes Real Madrid different from city rivals Atletico Madrid? Los Blancos are a team that has always benefited from a system, both by referees and VAR, which was created to correct referees. That's what they said.

Come on, review your football memory. Prove us wrong.

Remember. Real Madrid has always been said to have won by stealing. Black and white Cup / Champions League, hot balls in the draw, offside goals, Jose Mourinho counter-attacks, Sergio Ramos luck.

Not to mention Loris Karius's concussion, Ramos's judo stunt in the same final and, now, VAR has become their ally.

Because this is the VAR League, they said. The previous one, won by Barcelona via VAR, was won by the dominance of Barcelona and its star Lionel Messi.

But this title, if Real Madrid won it was not what they wanted, especially Barcelona.

When Barcelona or Atleti win, Real Madrid is said to be a formidable opponent. No offense, these words are as old as football itself.

Real Madrid always has to be criminals. If they score a lot of goals, it's a sin. If not, it's boring.

When they win, they are asked to play well, but when they play well and don't win, they are asked to win.

If Gareth Bale doesn't play there is a push for him to play, and if he does then why is his game questionable?

For some teams, soccer is practically quite successful. For Real Madrid, practicality is the cloud of their victory.

Real Madrid only has criticism. Real Madrid has no feelings. They're something else.

The critics are asking Real Madrid to play beautifully and if not, it will be worse. Real Madrid should not be imitated because they don't belong to a prestigious school, they come from a factory.

Then, the funniest statement came from Pep Guardiola after the 2014 Copa del Rey final. One of them criticized the referee's decision in the match which Real Madrid won 2-1.

Of course Real Madrid weren't allowed to win 1-0 with a penalty which was the right decision. Complaints got stronger when it came to Real Madrid.

Don't be tired. Keep enjoying your beloved team play, with all their successes and failures. Enjoy this blessed suffering, this journey that has made so many people happy and sad.

It's not easy to support this team. Real Madrid will always walk alone.
