Ancelotti may think that Marco Asensio, Rodrygo Goes, Federico Valverde can always be relied upon throughout the season so that he can keep his team's performance good. But in fact not, as a result every time Benzema is injured, Real Madrid really has a hard time getting the most out of the match.
It is not what Ancelotti and Real Madrid thought. They only well prepared for days when Benzema and other old players will be no longer able to play for them. Vini Jr., Rodrgyo, Valverde, Camavinga, Tchouameni were bought for their plan.

Asensio can not upgrade himself and I believe he already touched his best, Real Madrid must satisfy with what he can contribute or sell him to another club and get money. For other young players, they have potential to grow up more and upgrade themselves.

I agree that in this season, Rodrygo is still a young player and has lot of things to learn. Vini, Rodrygo are not able to replace Benzema at the moment but they are doing well and in future, they will become important players of Real Madrid.

Benzema impacts Real Madrid performance a lot because his contribution is not only by scoring goals but by his moment, attraction to opponent defenders and his ability to make good passes as well as assists.

Another big problem that Real Madrid might really feel if Benzema and Vinicius were injured at the same time. Obviously that will make Real Madrid's attack line weaker and it's likely they won't be able to win many match ahead. But Vinicius is still fit enough to rely on, but Rodrygo, Valverde or Asensio are not entirely reliable as the main line-up.
Having multiple players on hospitals, in medical care process is bad for all clubs, not only for Real Madrid. It is one of risks they have but such situations won't occur too often. In addition, last few seasons, I did not see Real Madrid had many problems with massive injuries on their players. It can be contributed by their medical staffs and because in previous seasons, many players were younger than now.

Real Madrid needed a suitable replacement for Benzema last season. But they don't care about it. They have relied on Benzema. Benzema has been outstanding in the last season. No major injuries were sustained. And so Real Madrid played consistently well. But depending on only one player is very risky. And that's what Ancelotti is realizing all too well now. Benzema has been injured this season. As a result, Real Madrid's performance is now unstable. Even against a team as weak as Mallorca, Real Madrid had to lose. As a result of the defeat in this match, Real Madrid is now 8 points behind Barcelona.

I really think that since last season they have deserved few additional players, but Ancelotti's optimistic attitude about his current players has indirectly made his team's performance unstable this season. For Real Madrid's current bad condition, I think Barcelona really responded positively by performing well and winning match after match. Barcelona managed to create good points gap with last season's title winners and now look comfortable 8 points clear at the top of the table.

]It's a big deal by real madrid lose against Mallorca. it seems like that ancellotti must find a solution for the problem that faces by real madrid right now. Real madrid is really under performance. Ancellotti will not able to use the same strategy over and over again. I got surprised by real madrid was not even actively signing the new player during January. Barcelona become even far from real's position right now. I think that this gonna be a very bad thing for real madrid.
Real madrid can't keep performing so badly like this. This gonna be a big chance for barcelona to take that title from real madrid.
Ancelotti has said that Real Madrid need several players including defenders and strikers.
He's probably aware that his defense has been problematic this season and he can't rely on Benzema all season as a striker without any problems. However, there was no realization of his wish during the winter transfer market, and I really saw how angry he was when he led his team to lose at home to Mallorca.

Real Madrid still can't deal with their vulnerabilities in such games. Losing to Mallorca was a big surprise and they just caused the gap with Barcelona to get bigger.

Real Madrid are still having a good season of course but they need to do better than this. Otherwise it seems quite difficult for them to catch up with Barcelona. The point gap has nearly reached double digits. Ancelotti needs to find a way out of this. The Champions League is also about to restart so they will need to focus on both tournaments as of then.

xavi risked everything to revive the Barcelona squad which had slumped last season, even though they failed in the champions league but there was still a la liga trophy and also a uel that xavi had to get. I don't think it's too early to congratulate Barcelona on their achievements this season.
I am sure Xavi and Barcelona would not want any congratulations right now, they know the job is not done yet and they must go on playing like this if they want to win the La Liga. Mallorca shocked Madrid today by beating them 1-0, that helped Barcelona to go on and beat Sevilla 3-0; Barcelona are now 8 points ahead of Real Madrid. Barca are slowly getting to the title, 8 points is a lot to close, so if Barcelona are consistent, they will win the La Liga, and if they win it Xavi will be honored as the coach that has brought happiness back to Barca fans faces.
Barcelona seem to be back to their old ways. After Xavi became the coach of the team, he applied many strategies but did not succeed. But looking at the last few matches, it seems that Xavi has succeeded this time. I think Barcelona need to win the La Liga title.
I think it's done, Barcelona are going to be the champions of LA Liga this season, 8 points is quite a lot because Barcelona are in a great form, their defense only conceded 7 goals in 20 matches, this doesn't mean that they have the best defenders in the world, it means that Xavi is doing one hell of a job to keep other teams away from their goal.

It will be very difficult for Real Madrid to close the gap of 8 points. Because Benzema, the main and most important player in their squad, is injured. And this season he is not playing well. So Real Madrid's attacking performance has declined badly. Barcelona, on the other hand, is consistently playing well. In every match we see Barcelona dominate. Barcelona's gameplay against Sevilla was outstanding. Barcelona does not give the Sevilla team much chance to attack.

Barcelona- Sevilla scored three goals in the second half came in three goals. There were also accurate shots to the goal in the first half, we can say that Sevilla completely surrendered in the second half. I enjoyed watching assists and passes. Barcelona now plays like the well-known Barcelona, with this squad, this was supposed to happen, no one can hold Barcelona anymore. Real Madrid lost points today, the gap has increased to eight, everything is positive for Barcelona.

Real Madrid is ruining their chances to grab again La Liga title this season. Another unexpected defeat by a team like Mallorca is very hard to swallow by most people tho..
Now the gap is getting bigger with 8 points difference. It is true that it is early to congratulate Barcelona but you can see clearly that Barcelona is scoring more and barely receiving goals compared to Real Madrid. Barcelona attack line is good and the defence line is effective. This is not the case for Real in few matches which literally blow their chances..
At least the defeat of Real Sociedad and their previous draw didn't allow them to be very close to Real Madrid or else even the second place won't be guaranteed Undecided

I didn't expect that Madrid will allow Barcelona to accumulate more points in the table to gap them. But it has happened and Real Madrid should be regretting it by now and now Real Madrid will have to vest their anger on next week's champions where they will have to face Liverpool
It seems like that the chance for real madrid to take la liga this year become less and less. Real madrid shall focus on the another competition that can be won like UCL or copa del rey. The loss against Mallorca was making the gap to Barcelona become even bigger.
I don't even know how big the chances owned by madrid to be even closer to Barcelona or even surpass it in la liga again. Barcelona is pretty solid right now. The match against Liverpool gonna be interesting match for sure. Liverpool has been facing even worst situation compared with real madrid.

Betis' win against Celta is given a good odds of 2.1... I think that after a minimal defeat to Barcelona, Betis will win today's home match... Although the statistics of head-to-head encounters in recent matches are not on Betis' side, it seems to me that they must win to gain points...
Real Betis should have a better chance of winning playing at home today. After the 1-2 defeat to Barcelona they have to try to get up and fight to be in the top 4 once again, but Villareal and Atletico Madrid seem to have easy matches too today. Regarding opportunities, in my opinion there is also chance of draw in this match because Celta Vigo managed to get 3 points in the previous match against Bilbao.

It should be an even match for the two, but Real Betis excel because of their home advantage today. The worst consequence for Real Betis today is that they have to lose maximum points again at home with draw because I'm not sure they lost.
There is something that I would like to highlight, both Barcelona and Real Madrid have a great silent war, for Barcelona, they do not want to lose a single point, because the advantage they have over Madrid they know that they can continue to position them in first place, without However, Real Madrid is establishing itself much more in the League, they know that they must not fail and they are putting all their arsenal to win, it is obvious that Ancelotti knows that he can no longer afford to think about a draw or a possible defeat, since That should not even come to mind, for this reason Barcelona is giving everything, of course very strong commitments are coming up, such as in the Europa League.

On the other hand, the other teams are doing everything possible so that they don't miss out on the classification so much, they all want to get in, they know that if they beat Real Madrid or Barcelona they could consecrate themselves as one of the points of gold, that makes the league very exciting too.

Real Madrid losing to Mallorca is seen as a high level of disappointment to somany spectators whose conclusion and views has been that Real Madrid is going to win this particular, judging with the both team head to head record the away side has always been victorious against their home counterparts, real needs to step up their games in the attack in other to be successful in their matches.
Yes, this defeat makes Real Madrid becomes harder to compete for the title. If Barcelona can win today, they will be leading with 8 points and it seems difficult to overtake them. Moreover, if Barcelona can win the next El Classico match, I personally think that Barcelona will win the La Liga title this season. Well, it is very disappointing to see the result of Real Madrid match against Mallorca. How can the small club beat Real Madrid? And Real Madrid made no goal from 20 shots attempts in the match. It is very clear that Real Madrid is in a crisis of productive strikers. They need a new striker, Ancelotti must plan to sign a new strong striker for the next season.


Well, Real Madrid is very disappointing, I don't know how they could trust each other so much, I'm impressed that Ancelotti hasn't been able to fix things, Barcelona is currently winning 2-0 against Sevilla, and I don't see Sevilla having an attitude attack, I see them as waiting for Barcelona to play with the counterattack, in a position like this they should not do it, that strategy is very reckless and even more so when they are under the score, I do not see it as correct, however it seems very Good for Barcelona, if they win those 8 points it will be very hard for Real Madrid to recover them.

And the Busquets thing is something that worries:

Busquets forced off injured in Barcelona's clash with Sevilla and could miss Man Utd Europa League tie



Quote
Sergio Busquets limped out of Barcelona's La Liga match against Sevilla at the Camp Nou with an apparent ankle injury.

    Midfielder went down early in match
    Limped off pitch
    Replaced by Franck Kessie

WHAT HAPPENED? The midfielder required treatment after a challenge from Youssef En-Nesyri just four minutes into the clash. After a few minutes, the Spain international had to be taken off and replaced by Franck Kessie.

Source: https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/busquets-injured-barcelona-clash-sevilla/bltfafe5cb15f76e8fc

The league was very uphill for Real Madrid, but with respect to Barcelona it is speculated that the Busquets thing could be extended to perhaps not play in the Europa League.
Watch Barcelona's performance. What a wonderful trick they are playing. The team is in one of the best performances. Because of that, he was able to beat Sevilla 3-0. I think Barcelona will win the La Liga title.

When placing a bet on a match, we consider the recent performance of the teams and their past results in head-to-head matches. If I look at the recent performances of Girona and Valencia, I forget the last time I saw a Valencia team win. This team is consistently losing points. Girona, on the other hand, have lost their last two matches but have performed well in several previous matches. However, in the last 5 matches between these two teams, Valencia have won four matches. Girona won a match. But this match is most likely to be a draw. Because the two teams are now at the bottom of the points table. No team wants to lose. So securing 1 point by playing defensively is a good result for them.
Unfortunately this match was won by Girona who deserved to win because so far Valencia has never won again in every match, Valencia got the win when they played against Real Betis and after that it was difficult for them to win again. They were able to win against Real Betis because the enemy had an incomplete team so Valencia took advantage of that moment to score as many goals as possible.

Apparently, we can already say that Barcelona is 8 points ahead of Real, just a few minutes to the end of the match and it is unlikely that Sevilla will be able to score three goals, probably a miracle should happen... It's amazing that Xavi was able to build a team where replacing one player with another does not change the result, it reminds me something of the tactics of the Spartans

Madrid's defeat today made their condition a little worse than before because indeed with this, now Barcelona has the opportunity to return away with a margin of 8 points when hosting Sevilla today.
Even though it's true that Sevilla also doesn't want their momentum to be broken after 2 wins but facing Barcelona with their current condition clear of 3 points maybe something that Barcelona could have.
Yes you're right, Real Madrid defeat made their condition a little worse, even more worse. Disappointed, this is what I'm experiencing right now, I have no other words than that for Real Madrid. This season's title is clear for Barcelona, because Real Madrid is still not back to best performance. Barcelona currently is ahead of 8 points for a while, also Barcelona is likely to continue in good trend of getting more points, so that it is difficult for Real Madrid to come close.

The match between Barcelona and Seville ended with Barcelona winning 3-0, just like it was in the first leg. In the first half of today's match Barcelona were not clinical enough. They dominated, they had all the chances and left Seville chasing shadows but they could not score. In the second half they were better. Raphinha received some scolding from his coach Xavi and he learned. He was involved in all 3 gaals. He created the chance for Kessi to give the ball to Alba for the first goal, he assisted the second and scored the third.
I believe he has a lot of this kind of performance in him and he still has more to offer if he works hard.

This win places Barcelona 8 points ahead of Real Madrid. It's looking more and more likely that's Barcelona will win the La Liga this season. They are working really hard for it. They are also working so hard to concede less goals as possible.

I can't really believe that Real Madrid loss for Mallorca. Well It is not surprised to me again because I have learned my lesson from the world cup tournament of 2022 at Qatar where unpopular terms were beaten popular teams like children. And if you look at the stats of the game Real Madrid possessed ball more than Mallorca. But Mallorca was careful enough to defense their area and tactically scored one goal and used it to end the match.
