However, if Real Madrid fails in the Copa del Rey then it looks like this season will be a season of failure for Real Madrid who has the chance not to win any trophies this season. But yes, because Real Madrid is king, then of course Real Madrid will still be the favorites to win the title, whether in the Copa del Rey or in the Champions League but at this moment not with La Liga.
In the Copa del Rey, Barcelona has won 1-0, of course it is an important capital for Barcelona. But the Champions League, if you can win against Chelsea, then Real Madrid will face one of the best clubs this season, Man City or Bayern. So the chance to get the UCL trophy is also very small. Yes, it's possible as you said that Real Madrid will fail to win a trophy this season. And this will be a bad season for Real Madrid.
I see Carlo preparing young players for next season. He always puts young players first in every game. Even Toni Croos often sits on the bench. He always put Camaviga first, even though the midfield was often locked.
Yes, but this method will also be good for Real Madrid's future, because with Carlo Ancelotti who prioritizes young players, over time Real Madrid has managed to make good and appropriate regeneration. Because when Carlo Ancelotti uses young players and gets stuck, then at least Carlo Ancelotti can still play players who are more experienced and of course that is a preparation for a better long term for Real Madrid.

It's not a failure if a team fails to win a trophy in a season. Madrid is actually having a bad playing season but it is often said that
not everyday is a Christmas. There won't be joy in watching football if one team keeps dominating over the other teams season in and season out. Madrid however still has a chance in UCL despite their bad form, winning over Chelsea will not be that difficult for them.
Not having a season with bad games, because if Real Madrid are still in second place in the La Liga standings and also still get to the quarter-finals in the Champions League, they are also only left behind with an aggregate of 1-0 in the Copa del Rey. With results like that, Real Madrid cannot be said to be a team that has played badly this season. lol!
The reason I said failure doesn't mean that Real Madrid is bad this season, because Real Madrid always gets a trophy and or a title every season. So if Real Madrid doesn't achieve anything this season, then this can be said to be a failure to win trophies and titles, but I still think Real Madrid has done well and not bad.
