Real Madrid is a very strong team in the Champions League. And they have played well in every Champions League match. It seems that the first priority of the Madrid management is the Champions League. And then they will focus on winning the La Liga title. Beating Real Madrid in the Champions League will not be easy. They played well in both matches against Liverpool. It is expected that they will start preparing for the match against Bayern Munich.
In the end, as I said in other places, Real Madrid are betting everything on the Champions League
given that in La Liga he has the very big obstacle of the super fierce Barcelona
I think he made the right choice
If Real madrid are targeting to win the Champions league, then it will make things easy for Barcelona to win laliga because it will be impossible for Real Madrid to win the champions league and laliga. The champions league is not easy one to get, their is no how they can give the best performance in laliga.
