It's not that Real Madrid is doing very well in the League, they have let Barcelona take a lot of advantage, I don't know if they allowed themselves to take that advantage out of confidence or because Ancelotti's strategy was not correct because they didn't give the results, In the same way they have a very hard job, I doubt very much that they can catch up with Barcelona, this time like the League got out of hand, the only hope they have is to win the UCL. and they can do it, they have the material, also if Ancelotti wins the UCL I think he would be saving his position at Real Madrid.
Real Madrid winning the champions league is not going to be possible this season with the way they are playing currently now.
Atletico Madrid will be playing against Sevila this evening, and for Atletico Madrid to keep their hope of qualifying for the champions league next season but is not going to be easy game for both teams, but am sure Atletico Madrid is going home with all three points.
Nevertheless, anything is possible. As a rule, teams playing in the Champions League give a lot more than in the domestic championship, maybe it just seems to me every game, or it is. So I wouldn't say anything prematurely.
What atletico madrid did yesterday was really something, 6 goals... It's been a long time since we've had that in La Liga.
