Because Barcelona are already the title favourite with 8 points ahead of Real Madrid.
I think becoming the best in the world once was a big dream for Benzema that has come true. I also think he knows that he won't be able to repeat what he did during that season. That is just not realistic.
I don't know what Madrid's plans are right now and whether they are still trying to get Mbappe as well or whether that plan is fully put on ice? Anyone knows anything?
The loss against Mallorca surely was a painful one and it was a loss with very bad timing. It turned Barcelona's win into a 6 point game, which makes it even worse.
Xavi just said that Barcelona isn't the favorite for the La Liga title, but in all seriousness I think that is bs. Barcelona is definitely the favorite now.
