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?
Now La Liga is out of their frame because 12 rounds left with 12 points lead is enough for the Barcelona to win the title in last match Real Madrid performance was good but still not able to win this match, so their best chance is to have another Champions League title in this season or gone without any trophy and prepare for the next season which is also not bad because in last season they have double and Barcelona were not able to have anything so changes occurring very quickly in fields which is good for the sports and sportsmen.
Chelsea's game is looking easy on papers but in practical things looking not easy with any team can perform better on his day and things can be gone into their favor which is also part of this game.
