After losing their Champions League match to Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid had to refocus on domestic matches. Yes, they really have to forget yesterday's defeat, because the match against Alaves this week is also important considering that their point difference from Sevilla is getting closer. They must immediately rise and move away from Sevilla by winning the match later.
The match against Alaves is a very important match for Real Madrid because at the moment they are only 4 points different from Sevilla who are currently in 2nd place in La Liga standings. They have to win this game, but I see something else from Alaves' side, if you look at the La Liga standings, currently Alaves are in a position that is almost out of the relegation zone, this will be a big motivation for them to win against Real Madrid even though it doesn't sound like it. It makes sense, anything can happen on the pitch, we'll see this week.
I don't think that the mentality of Real Madrid players will go down just because they lost yesterday. Real Madrid really has to get up and refocus for their match against Alaves. Despite the defeat received by Madrid, maybe Alaves will be a little more confident and make the game more entertaining. Then after against Alaves, there are still Rayo Vallecano and Real Sociedad who still want to secure their 9 points.
