Benzema is total out of shape, he do a very bad in last matches

Benzema has seriously been out of shape this season because of his fitness woes this season. I also feel that Benzema is not yet fit mentally because of the problems he is having with the national team. His lack of consistency has affected the Madrid team entirely. Last season he was their main source of goal and without him this season they can’t win games comfortably. Madrid should just hope he is in good shape for champions league

[RealMalatesta]

if you think about it, the reasoning is right
as I always say, the Champions League brings a lot of cash, oxygen for teams like Real Madrid, so it was obvious they would focus on that (a bit like they did last year!)
I approve of this mentality

Well it is not that they are intentionally focusing there,it is because they cannot do anything for La Liga anymore,the derby of last weekend forced them to do so after losing to Barcelona,now they are 9 points behind in La Liga so it is only natural for them to focus on the Champions League.

I know that it looks easy on paper for them the fight with Chelsea but they should not underestimate Chelsea and just remember the distant year,several years ago when Chelsea eliminated them and Chelsea was in even more bad form than they are actually now.

I agree, it would be wise to work hard to win UCL this season again, of course it is hard to win it back to back and they are going to be facing some tough teams there as well, there is no doubt about that.

But at the very least, when you compare the league and the UCL, they need to win like 5 games and they are the title winners in UCL, technically speaking they can be the winners by winning just 3 games, they could win 2-0 and lose 1-0 and still go to semi finals, and then do the same again and then win the finals, so they need minimum 3 wins, max 5 wins and they can get UCL title once again. When you compare that to La Liga where it's almost guaranteed that they won't win it, UCL looks more possible.

I see Real Madrid experiencing a decline in performance this season and that is what makes them unable to compete with Barcelona. If we look at the defeats and draws they have had in La Liga, most of them have come against weaker teams and in fact they should have won the game. But they got the opposite result. If they win the game against a weaker team, the loss to Barcelona won't matter in my opinion.

Madrid's performance has indeed declined this season. or maybe we can be sure Madrid will only focus on the Champions League.
some surprising results were obtained from Madrid, because of the many competitions they have participated in.
like when they were held to a draw against Atletico, 1-1. this happened during the first leg of the last 16 of the Champions League and the first leg of the semifinals of the Copa del Rey, after which Madrid also had to play a goalless draw against Betis.
maybe the game against Valladolid will also bother Madrid because of their ambition to get revenge on Barcelona during the second leg of the Copa del Rey later.

The decline in performance that occurred at Real Madrid may indeed be because Real Madrid is dividing its focus on several competitions. so they sometimes lose focus in Laliga. but so far Real Madrid in the Champions League has never let us down. but in Laliga this season many of their matches have been unsatisfactory. one of them was when they were held to a draw by Real Betis. even in El Clasico yesterday we saw Real Madrid play a little badly. even Benzema did not perform optimally in that match. but at least Real Madrid must focus on one of the competitions they face, especially the Champions League, which they must prioritize.

[Falconer]

Real Madrid's biggest rival is Barcelona.  Real Madrid are by no means catching up with Barcelona. Real Madrid is still playing very well but Barcelona is playing more better.  Due to which Real Madrid is always behind Barcelona. Real Madrid are still 12 points behind Barcelona.  Therefore, it is very challenging for Real Madrid to collect these 12 points and overtake Barcelona. But nothing is impossible in football, so if Real Madrid try, they will be able to overtake Barcelona.  But it must always be remembered that Real Madrid will not be able to overtake Barcelona very easily and early

To be honest at this point I will no longer place my hopes on Real Madrid's chances of winning the title this season, especially La Liga. I have to admit Barcelona's greatness this season and they are the better team even though we really have the support of all the fans.

There is no more La Liga title that we can hope for, now it's getting harder and I agree I have to get off this dead horse just to think of something more relevant. Yes, it's the Champions League now, but Real Madrid have to fight for the Copa Del Rey even though we also lost to Barcelona in the first leg.

[Z-tight]

Real Madrid's performance in La Liga has been somewhat erratic. This could be because they are fully focused on winning the Champions League title. Real Madrid has performed very well in every match of the Champions League. But they are now 12 points behind Barcelona in La Liga. And reducing this 12-point gap is much more difficult for Madrid. I don't think Real Madrid will try to win the La Liga title this season. Their main goal now will be to win the Champions League title.

Real madrid are not 12 points behind Barcelona because they are fully focused on winning the champions league, they want to win all the trophies they can, they are 12 points behind because Barcelona have been better than them this season in the La Liga. Last season Madrid won both La Liga and champions league, nobody said anything about their focus, now that they are not so good in La Liga, everyone is saying it is because they want the champions league, that is not correct. I don't even think Madrid are going to win the champions league this season, though they are one of the challengers for it.

Real Madrid is known as a very strong team. Real Madrid have won all the matches I have seen except Barcelona. But it is true that it is a lot of effort for Real Madrid to compete with Barcelona. Barcelona football team always plays very well. Real Madrid's game has taken a bad shape this season. In such a situation, it is natural for Real Madrid to move from the La Liga points table. Real Madrid have come under fire for a bit of a letdown.

If they win the game against a weaker team, the loss to Barcelona won't matter in my opinion.

In personal meetings, Real even had an advantage - they won the game at home 3-1.
As for the reasons, the main one is the scoundrel Mbappe, who until the last pretended to be interested in moving to Real Madrid and because of this, Real refused to fight for Haaland. As a result, all the way the main scorer of Real is a semi-injured Benzema 


What do you think of the Barcelona scandal? I heard that they were unable to provide a contract according to which payments were made to Negreira and stated that this was done on the basis of verbal agreements (millions lol). For such nonsense, Juventus went to Serie B and lost points. Will everything be different in the case of Barcelona?

After all, every team will always have strengths and weaknesses and this season we admit that Barcelona is indeed very good in La Liga, but Barcelona is still bad in the Champions League and Europa League. Meanwhile Real Madrid are still doing well in the Champions League, and even though Real Madrid are below Barcelona in La Liga this season, but I think second place is not too bad either.

So yes, even though Real Madrid might not win the La Liga title this season but Real Madrid is not completely bad. Also, of course Real Madrid will make some changes later to get better and more consistent results next season.

[BITCOIN4X]

This is not the time to talk about next season because it's not over yet. After all, Real Madrid still has the chance to reduce the point gap with Barcelona if Xavi and his team lose in the next few matches, but at the same time Real Madrid must win all the matches. Madrid may need to expect 4 defeats to Barcelona for the rest of the season for the two to be even on points, but as I said, Real Madrid need to wipe every game clean with a win.

For me it is difficult, but not impossible because mathematically Real Madrid still have a chance. While Barcelona need at least 8 more wins to seal the title, their chances are good but let's see what they can do in April.

[Altryist]

Let's be realistic, this defeat left Real Madrid no chance in La Liga, all they can count on is the Champions League. But you understand what the Champions League is and how much just one unsuccessful match can solve there and what level the teams are left at this stage. I liked how Real played with Barcelona in such a match any of the teams could win, it's just that Barcelona was a little more lucky that evening.

We might not just conclude that Real Madrid will not be able to grab the La Liga because in football anything is possible. Few losses on the part of Barcelona and more wins for Real will make the difference. But like you stated it will be very difficult for Real to push out Barca from he top spot because Barcelona is focusing on the La Liga while Real is pursuing more than one trophies. Real is contending for the UEFA champions League and it seems to be their main focus. But the last match between both teams looked like a Champions finals, it was very entertaining and filled with suspense.

[Distraction]

Atletico Madrid have made a good progress lately and this has helped them even catch up with Real Madrid a little in the standings.

Maybe they wouldn't manage to take the second position from Real Madrid but still this is a better look for Atletico Madrid at least. They couldn't make a good start to the season and this continued the same way for a very long time also. This led them to have a really bad run during the most of the season. One of the results was their having a very poor group stage in the Champions League. After finishing it at the last spot with only 5 points Simeone has started being criticized even more seriously. Recently they are at least able to consolidate their position in top four. But I still believe Atletico Madrid need a big change by parting ways with Simeone.

[Upgrade00]

But I still believe Atletico Madrid need a big change by parting ways with Simeone.

I agree.
He has been at the club for 12 years now and it seems that his best days with Atletico Madrid are behind him when the won the Laliga from the two Spanish Giants and almost won the Uefa Champions League title on two occasions. It is time for a change of style and management and a breath of fresh air at the other side of Madrid.

I would equally like to see Simeone at a different side and how his tactics would work in a different league.

Indeed, in terms of strength, everyone already knows that Madrid is a strong team and actually for La Liga itself Barcelona is the 4th team after Rayo, Villarreal and Mallorca to beat Madrid first. but that's not really what I think because they have experienced a lot of obstacles this season and one of them is finishing and always making the same scheme by being and playing all out in the last 15 minutes. Even if sometimes it's quite good but things like this are clearly easy to read and right now it's the result of them being too confident in the squad regardless of the worst possible scenario and this should be used as a lesson for next season.

Parting ways with someone I will say is not the right thing to do. You have already said that ATM are now close to Real Madrid, that's only because the club's performance has increased so well lately.
Real Madrid has lost in their last match but that will not affect their performance in the next match and I'm sure it will be their chances of increasing their pace with ATM, that's because AtM may find it hard to win Betis.

Hey friends, there are always surprises in every season, even in every game there are always unexpected results. but we are talking about facts where the difference in points between Barcelona and Real Madrid is 12 points adrift, of course it is very impossible to catch up because Barcelona has been quite consistent this season. Especially in this season, Barcelona performance is better than Real Madrid so that Real Madrid chances in LaLiga seem to have run aground after yesterday El Clasico match where Real Madrid had to give up the lag with a final score of 2-1.

maybe real madrid ambitions will be aimed at the champions league because that's one good enough way to become a champion because they have a strong enough mentality in the champions league after making it to the quarter finals by beating liverpool.

Not all seasons must favour a club. Real Madrid have featured in so many comperirions, if they can't catch up with Barcelona it means it wasn't meant to be.
Speaking of mentality in the champion league,  almost all the teams in the quarter final have good experiences and are ready to kick out who ever cones their way. Real Madrid is the most successful team in champion league, but it's not going to be easy for them in this season champions league.

Even the Real Madrid players knows they only need to focus more on the Champions League because with the performance of Barcelona so far, they aren't dropping points soon instead Real Madrid will drop more points because they are no longer in the title race with Barcelona. Real Madrid is hoping to win the Champions League once more this season that is the only way they decided to drop points , looking at their performance against Barcelona in their last game, Barcelona was all over the pitch and they dominated Real Madrid from the starting of the game till the full time

Until a few days ago before they lose the game in El classic they had a good chance to beat Barcelona in Elclassi and decrease the points they need to be in the first place of the table but Barcelona proved they have a better team than Real Madrid, the had much more control over the game and the only goal by Real Madrid was actually an own goal, basically, Real Madrid couldn't score a goal against Barcelona and this shows there is no hope for Real Madrid in La Liga anymore.

Real Madrid's hopes of reducing the difference in points through this match did not work. because Barcelona did look to play quite comfortably in that match. oftentimes Real Madrid's defense is quite overwhelmed by Barcelona's attacks. And by an increasing margin. then I think Barcelon is currently unstoppable to get the title this season in La Liga. while Real Madrid also has a bigger goal of winning the Champions League. and it's no stranger to Real Madrid not doing too well in Laliga. but continue to play well in the Champions League.
