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.
Real Madrid has experience and all the best form in the champions league. but yes anything can happen if they don't put in their best form when they face chelsea in the first leg of quarter final. I think that lately the performance of their attackers seems to have decreased in terms of scoring goals like Vinicius and Rodrygo in matches in La Liga, but I admit that the two Real Madrid stars have quite good quality and hope they can give all their strength in the first leg against Chelsea in Bernabéu Stadium.
Everyone believes real madrid as the defending champion will be the strongest candidate team to win the trophy again and they will most likely do that if they are able to beat chelsea.
