After getting knocked out of the Spanish Cup by Albacete and then losing to Bayern Munich in the quarter finals of the Champions League, &#8220;Los Blancos&#8221; now have just one potential piece of silverware left to win before May. Unfortunately, that would require \u00c1lvaro Arbeloa and his squad to overcome a nine-point gap between them and Barcelona at the top of the Spanish top-flight. And if they fail to do that, it&#8217;ll be the first time since 2021 that Madrid have gone an entire season without a single trophy.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2>The most valuable squads without a trophy<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Most valuable squads to not win\" src=\"https:\/\/tmssl.akamaized.net\/\/images\/foto\/newsansicht\/most-valuable-squads-to-not-win-1776957868-195454.png?lm=1776957895\" alt=\"Most valuable squads to not win\" width=\"503\" height=\"629\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The tragedy of failing to lift a single trophy is compounded when one considers that Madrid possess the most valuable squad on the planet, worth \u20ac1.34 billion. A market value that would in turn make &#8220;Los Blancos&#8221; the most valuable team in history to complete a season without winning a single title. The Merengues\u2019 dressing room is home to four players valued at \u20ac100 million or more, with Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 the standout among them at \u20ac200 million.<\/p>\n<div class=\"spielervergleich\">\n<p>Club Comparison<\/p>\n<div class=\"vergleich\">\n<p>\u20ac1.34bn<\/p>\n<p>Market Value<\/p>\n<p>\u20ac1.23bn<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>            <br class=\"clearer\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"vergleich\">\n<p>First Tier<\/p>\n<p>League Level<\/p>\n<p>First Tier<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>            <br class=\"clearer\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"vergleich\">\n<p>\u20ac167.50m<\/p>\n<p>Expenditures 25\/26<\/p>\n<p>\u20ac294.60m<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>            <br class=\"clearer\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"vergleich\">\n<p>\u00c1lvaro Arbeloa<\/p>\n<p>Managers<\/p>\n<p>Mikel Arteta<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\n                <span>Full Club Comparison<\/span>\n            <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>As things stand, if Barcelona manage to win the league title, Real Madrid will overtake Arsenal as the most valuable club to finish a season without a trophy. The <em>Gunners<\/em> did so last season with a squad valued at \u20ac1.23b. What\u2019s more, should Mikel Arteta\u2019s side fail to win the Premier League or secure their first Champions League title and Real Madrid win LaLiga, the Emirates side will surpass their previous season\u2019s record and become the world\u2019s most valuable squad to finish the season without a trophy. The north London squad has a total value of \u20ac1.23 billion.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Real Madrid and Arsenal, there are two other teams that could join this list this season. These are Chelsea, valued at \u20ac1.16 billion, and Liverpool, valued at \u20ac1.02 billion. The <em>Blues<\/em> can avoid this if they win the FA Cup, where they are in the semi-finals, whilst the <em>Reds<\/em> will do so in the hypothetical and extremely unlikely scenario of winning the Premier League, where they still have a mathematical chance.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MVP flops\u00a0 \u00a9IMAGO Real Madrid almost have nothing left to play for this season.
