Even so, Real Madrid must remain careful because they still have a difficult schedule, Atletico Bilbao, who is currently in 4th place, will face them in the coming week, they also still have a match against Barcelona, and as we know, the meeting between the two This team will be very hot and Real Madrid cannot underestimate Barcelona because they are their main rivals in La LIga, this match will be a very difficult match for them.
There is good advantage for Real Madrid but they also have risk in coming matches. I still believe Real Madrid and their coach, players will be able to control things and defend their advantage to turn it to a La Liga trophy at the end.
Meeting a direct competitor in an El Classico match, a club in top four are not easy but with me, I see it's hard to happen with Real Madrid by losing in all two matches. Even if Real Madrid lose all two matches with Barcelona and Athletic Club (not Atletico Bilbao), they will still have 2 points more than Barcelona as currently they have 8 points more than the competitor.
It's nearly impossible that within next 9 matches in La Liga, Real Madrid will lose more than 8 points.
Real Madrid must focus in every match they will face, especially since they also have a very difficult match in the Champions League when they have to meet Manchester City in the quarter-finals. Every match they will face will greatly determine their future, I mean victory will give them the upper hand and conversely defeat will make it more difficult for them when they play the next match. Ancelotti must be able to ensure that his players are fully prepared for every match.
These matches with Manchester City in Champions League quarter final are big and important for Real Madrid. They always want to win Champions League and last season, they were beaten by Manchester City so this season is a chance for them to revenge Manchester City.
If Real Madrid finish matches in quarter finals without player injury, they will have better resource to secure their 8 points gap with Barcelona in La Liga. We have to talk about Barcelona and their risk with matches in Champions League too. Not only Real Madrid will have many risk from Champions League quarter final matches.
