Real Madrid really have a long way to go, because meeting up to the present Barcelona position in the table in a big challenge to them, but still I know that Real Madrid never lose hope on there priority, which in a bit of time most especially at the mid season they will be able to get more points than Barcelona. Because mostly Ancelotti focus on gathering more points at the mid and the end of the season, which but that time if care is not taken Barcelona will be relaxing thinking they have enough point to make them the winner of the trophy. Although Barcelona are really trying their best I hope they will be able to reach the end of this season with there performances, so that they can still get the trophy.

I don't know what kind of natural disaster happened, because there are two matches that will be postponed due to natural disasters. The match between Villarreal v Rayo Vallecano, and also the match between Valencia v Real Madrid. With the postponement of matches like this, maybe Real Madrid will seem far behind Barcelona, ​​even though we will realize that later Barcelona has played one more match than Real Madrid. But at least, with the increasingly widening points gap, it might also affect their morale. But yes, about the natural disaster that happened there, hopefully it will gradually recover quickly, and hopefully they will remain in good condition.

Real Madrid is not a team that usually maximizes its young players, I mean they tend to maximize their financial strength to bring in more stars so that they have a greater chance of remaining in power in La Liga and in Europe. Maximizing the potential of young players as Barcelona often does is actually considered detrimental for Real Madrid, of course this will make them falter and tend to be easily defeated.

You don't need to believe what I say, but pay attention to Real Madrid's main squad in every game. You have to understand that Real Madrid don't have much courage to play young players in many matches, maybe they are afraid, doubtful or whatever so they tend to play their best players.

Alavés vs Mallorca

Alavés (confirmed lineup): Antonio Sivera, Nahuel Tenaglia, Abdelkabir Abqar, Adrian Pica, Manuel Sanchez, Antonio Blanco, Carlos Protesoni, Carlos Vicente, Jon Guridi, Abderrahman Rebbach, Kike Garcia.

Mallorca (confirmed lineup): Leo Roman, Pablo Maffeo, Antonio Raillo, Jose Copete, Toni Lato, Robert Navarro, Manu Morlanes, Omar Mascarell, Valery Fernandez, Cyle Larin, Daniel Rodriguez.

Alavés finished Las last season in tenth place on the table which I will say the had a wonderful season compared to what they are play this season, currently they are in 16th place on the table with only 10 points and they are playing against Mallorca who haven't lost to Alavés in four consecutive game, their last meeting was draw, Alavés are really in a mess because in their last seven matches they lost almost six matches indeed this is really a setback for them but they still have chances to bounce back. Mallorca are doing well compared to Alavés performance so with the look of things Mallorca has chances of winning due to the recent performance.

Real Madrid only needs Barcelona to drop points by losing 2 matches while they win for them to be able to catch up Barcelona in point but the chances of Barcelona dropping points in their current form is slim compared to Real Madrid who is still battling with the players they have in the team and the right place they can function well and get a good performance to help the team gets better from what they are doing this season. For Barcelona to win the league right now try need to increase the gap they have over Real Madrid because they are yet to get to the stage where they game may appear difficult which is the middle of the season so if they must win the league title they have to keep taking their chances so they will have good point gap over Real Madrid.

What is the difference between Real Madrid last season and this season, clearly there is no difference at all. Last season Endrick was brought in, and yesterday Mbappe became a Madrid player with free agent status. Cacho, Joselu and Toni Kroos retired. There is no drastic change with young players, the difference is that Madrid now has Mbappe and on the other hand Toni Kroos is no longer strengthening Madrid. So, Ancelotti's experience is clear. Not only for experienced players but also for young players, in the team he is the boss as a leader. His role is very vital for the sustainability of the Real Madrid squad, because he is the tactician in the Real Madrid squad. When Mbappe had not joined, Madrid was able to win the La Liga and Champions League trophies. Well, why when Mbappe was with Madrid this team has not shown its true level. IMO, the problem has several factors. One of them is that Kroos' role is very vital. Currently, Real Madrid's midfielders are not yet established and at the same level as Kroos. That's why Madrid has not appeared at the peak of its game. on the other hand, Ancelotti is looking for an ideal pattern for his team because there are still shortcomings in the system he has implemented. we can see it in several matches, Don Carlo does not yet have an ideal pattern for his team. as for the coach, Ancelotti will slowly leave Santiago Bernabeu, whatever the background. the time will come for a new coach to replace him, maybe it's Alonso or another young coach and it could be an experienced coach that Madrid needs later after Carlo Ancelotti leaves. anyway, Madrid will slowly find its rhythm.

Certainly, if Barcelona can maintain their impressive performance, they're most likely them to clinch the trophy at the end of the season, even though we admit that Real Madrid still has a significant chance to overtake them in the second half of the season. Player injuries, a packed fixture list, and various sanctions are always major challenges for any manager, in this case, Hansi Flick has been fortunate as most of his key players are now available.
Los Blancos clearly should not to lose any more points in the next matches, and being 6 points behind still seems realistic to cut down, as there are 23 more games to go. Given Real Madrid ideal squad, ending the season trophyless would be a severe blow for them. Ancelotti must work harder than last season, and his genius will be tested in times like these.

The Champions League and La Liga have not gone away, and it is impossible to forecast whether a club will improve or not. Real Madrid is a very excellent club, and anything can happen; they can shock the world by winning both the league and the Champions League. I am confident that Real Madrid will not finish the season without a trophy. Barcelona currently leads the league with a 6-point difference. While Madrid has the opportunity to top the league, Flick's goal for Barcelona is to win the La Liga this season and ifhe have the opportunity and win the  Champions League again.

And Ancelotti is certain to depart the club next season, and he will do everything he can to win the title before leaving. And if Mbappe has not won the Champions League previously, he will do everything he can to win it this time. You are correct that Real Madrid's performance is low due to injuries, but I believe Ancelotti can solve the problem by devising a new strategy to compete with the top clubs. Let's see how Ancelotti does in the competition because I still feel Madrid will come back stronger because they still have vital players in the team and can modify their strategy to start winning games.

Tomorrow ,Mallorca football team will play match against Alavés football team. Mallorca football team is favorite for that match because they have good track record as comparison to Alavés team because Mallorca team won 3 matches out of 5 matches and lose only 1 match and one match was draw. On the other hand, opponent team won only 1 match out of 5 matches and they lost 4 matches and they are in depression and they have to change their mindset to win this match because Mallorca have good mindset and they have good coordination of players.If we want to see head to head record,Mallorca won three matches out of 5 matches and two were draw but Alavés could not win any match.

I think it is definitely going to be more challenging for Real Madrid, because currently the gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona is 6 points. Moreover, Real Madrid still has a long way to go to reach this point, but Barcelona will certainly be able to increase more points in the meantime and they will move further up the points table. In that case, the current team that Barcelona has been able to form and they have come back strongly has really helped the team a lot. However, by the end of this season, I do not think that Real Madrid will be able to take Barcelona's position, rather Barcelona has a greater chance of becoming the champion this season. So the biggest blow is going to be with Real Madrid this season, rather Barcelona will not let Real Madrid come to their position in any way.

the distance between Barcelona and Real Madrid is getting longer, what a blow for Real Madrid

I saw some images and read about what happened in Spain and the storm has catastrophic impact on the region and there was death there.
I find it logical to see some decisions like reporting some events and if really Real Madrid donated such money so I think that was a very good move from there and I doubt others will follow its move.
Real Madrid president and the team as a whole has a nice funds comparing to Barcelona and the others.

It all comes back to the taste of each coach, it is possible that a coach like Ancelotti is a 90s coach and is forced to handle players in the current era, it is indeed difficult for a coach like Ancelotti to keep up with himself and the young players at Real Madrid, a little successful but always encountering obstacles in implementing the tactics and rhythm given by Ancelotti, so it is not surprising that this season Ancelotti and Real Madrid are not so dominant, even though they are inhabited by great players, it is not a benchmark for winning titles or victories in every match, of course every great player has different characteristics and their playing style is also different so there is still plenty of time to fix it all.

Agree 1000% Ancelotti is indeed an experienced coach but when it comes to managing young players he is not so suitable, therefore if you look at Madrid current young squad it would be ideal to have a young coach who has a playing style and vision that suits modern football. There's nothing wrong with preparing a long-term option, right? After all Madrid has many young players and to take advantage of all that, a system that is able to manage them is needed. Ancelotti is more suitable to manage experienced players who already have hours of flying in various competitions. I only expressed my opinion based on the situation of the Madrid club whose players abilities are somewhat unorganized.

With a catastrophe of storm and flash flood in Valencia, it gives big reasons to postpone the match. There are more important things to do in the Valencia for locals than hosting that match. Real Madrid did a great donation to Valencia and they show that they're not a rich club, a most successful club in Spain but they're very generous with charity too.

The match postpone is helpful for Real Madrid because they will be given more time, and injured players will have more time of recovery. Real Madrid perhaps will have a better player resource when this match rescheduled. Valencia are playing very terrible in this season but they shown something bad in the last season already. They're like Sevilla, another big club in La Liga, began to have big problems in recent seasons.

In the term of position and recent performance certainly Mallorca is much better than Alaves but don't mean Alaves will be easily to beated because sometimes for playing at home Alaves can performing well and so far during this season Alaves has successfully to gets 2 win from home matches and 2 loses so as mediocre teams i think this is good records

In this match although Alaves recent performance is very poor but the bookies placed them as the favourite but head to head statistics is look interesting because since 2020 Alaves was unable to win from Mallorca so i do agree with you that this time Mallorca has good chances to be the winner of this match but besides this option i think under 2.5 goals also good pick

I don't know if it has been said in the thread but I have looked at the last posts on this page and the previous one and I don't think so. The Valencia Madrid match has been called off:

Why has Real Madrid’s game against Valencia in LaLiga been postponed?

Valencia-Real Madrid one of five games suspended by La Liga following DANA storm damage

But Real Madrid has shown itself to be a gentlemanly team and has donated 1 million euros for those affected by the Dana.

If Madrid wants to prioritize the La Liga trophy this season, they must continue to win matches because the 6-point difference can be said to be quite far, especially since Barcelona is in consistent performance, expecting Hansi Flick's squad to lose to another club for now, it could happen, but it is difficult in this case, it is true, as you said, Madrid itself must beat Barcelona in El Classico volume two later, or Atletico Madrid could be Madrid's hope to beat Barcelona because they are also strong candidates for La Liga. However, no matter how good Barcelona is, at some point they will still have difficulties, especially since the season is still very long, surprises will definitely happen.

The journey of La Liga is still very long and many things can happen later, so far Barcelona is in its best form so it is not surprising that they are much superior to Madrid in the meantime, I think Madrid currently still has a better chance to shift Barcelona position later because indeed a difference of 6 points is not a far enough difference for a big team like Madrid,  but to be able to catch up with them, of course, Madrid must be more consistent and can no longer lose points in the next match, Madrid have the history and quality to catch up with 6 points and indeed it is like two victories that can change everything, but regardless of that, of course Madrid must hope that Barcelona will experience 2 defeats later so that they can equalize the points,  however, if that doesn't happen, of course two wins won't change the position of both teams until the end of the season later.

Actually the current status of both teams is what makes the game an interesting one, though both teams are neither elite side but due to the good form of Real Mallorca and the dwindling form of  Deportivo Alavez it's quite obvious that both teams will come all out against each other to see who will take home all 3 points at the end of the day, Alavez cannot afford a fifth consecutive defeat and Mallorca would be careful not to concede a loss to maintain the position on the table and that's why am convinced that the match would not only be interesting but also tight for both teams.
