oh you're right. In Laliga, it turns out that Real Madrid is already very difficult to win the title because Barcelona is currently at the top of the standings with a very large difference in points. so this will certainly make Real Madrid prioritize the Champions League more. and I personally also believe that in all respects Real Madrid is far superior this season. especially in the first leg which turned out to be Real Madrid will host the match. and we need to know that the result of the first leg is sometimes very important to build a better mentality for the second leg.
You can ignore Real Madrid's performance in La Liga because it seems like they are very bad about their performance. Their chances in La Liga are getting slimmer, in fact I think they have failed since Barcelona are 12 points ahead.
A different performance from Real Madrid in the Champions League can certainly be expected. The Champions League is Real Madrid's top priority this season as well as the Copa del Rey but both titles are equally important so I don't think they will give up on either one this season. But the thing is, how can we expect Chelsea to get beaten up like that?
