February 

A perfect month in Feb saw us smash Bilbao 8-0 away from home... That won't help the basque sentiment toward Madrid. 

PSG await us in the CL round of 16 in March

March 

We inch past PSG to reach the CL QF, while Almeria hands us our second loss of the league campaign 

Up next in the CL, Bayern Munich

April 

We come back from behind to beat Bayern on Aggregate to reach the SF, and we will have to repeat that feat vs City to get to the final. 

In the league, despite a couple of hiccups, we need one win to grab the title, our next opponent? Barcelona at the Bernabeu

Final Bound 

We score 3 goals at home to knock out Man City and set a date with Arsenal for the final. 

Can Van Koopermiester achieve his dream?

Title Secured 

A 1-0 win over our rivals gives us our first title in the Spanish Capital and Madrid's 8 in a row

La Liga Awards 

Player of the year 

 

Spoiler

A clean sweep for Player of the Year award, but for me Mikel Oyarzabal was player of the season, made the difference everytime. 

Osimhen also suffered a lot of injuries which lead him to miss a good chunck of matches

Top Goalscorer 

Spoiler

Always nice to see one of my former players performing well 

Team of the Year 
 

Spoiler

A sea of white joins two Barca players in the season's best eleven 

Manager of the Year 

99 points were not enough to get me manager of the year

Hattrick Hero 

A hattrick by Mikel Oyarzabal gives Real Madrid the Champions League trophy and cements his claim for Madrid's player of the season.

The End 

From getting relegated in Latvia to winning the CL with the biggest club in the world in just six years, Van Koopermiester left his name in the history books. 

He leaves having won league titles in Greece and Spain, two promotions in Denmark, and two European titles with only the Europa League missing from the haul.

Despite a boring last season, this was an enjoyable save, I enjoyed my time in Denmark and Greece, but my time in Madrid felt like I was going through the motions 

Especially considering I had a 15-year save with Inter, so playing with clubs got tiring. This was also the first time I go through with writing out a full save despite a few failed attempts, and I'm glad to finally get that done

My next save will be a build nation save, so stay tuned for that one.
