last week Real Madrid dropped a point against Atletico Madrid, which is quite understandable. How about this week? What happened with Real Betis?
Ancelotti seems to have difficulty rotating players due to the tight schedule of matches they follow, even though at the moment none of the main players are injured. Real Madrid's midfielders are not at their best at the moment, so there is no measured pass that can be given to the attackers that would allow them to score.
I think it is likely because the number of points have increased in difference to Barcelona and now Real Madrid knows that they stand no chance to win La Liga as the number of games to be played is always smaller.That is why now they most likely will be focusing on the Champions League where so far they have been performing really well and that is why they will continue to focus only there to keep doing better and be a strong contender to the Champions League title.
For the La Liga I think Barcelona has already won the title based on the number of games left and points difference between the two teams.
