Real Madrid realized too late that the team's condition at the end and beginning of last year was declining. Supposedly at that time, the President of Real Madrid allowed Ancelotti to buy a number of players in the January market. Now it's too late, they have to give up the La Liga title for eternal rivals Barcelona. What hurts the most for El Real is not just the title issue, but the pride of the team. This season Xavi has successfully humiliated Ancelotti in various events. Ancelotti only has one more chance in the Copa Del Rey, but can he be able to save face for Madrid from their main rival?
In my opinion, the problem is that Real Madrid is busy on many fronts
Barcelona only has La Liga, while Real Madrid also compete in the Champions League
Also Xavi has to prove something, he has to AT LEAST win La Liga otherwise they'll send him home with a kick
It's not an easy situation, and Carlo Ancelotti rightly decided to dedicate himself only to the Champions League
FC Barcelona also has a chance to win the Copa del Rey, not just "La Liga" (which, to be honest, is almost won for them to me), and don't forget that they already won the
Spanish Supercopa this year. On the contrary, chances are that Real Madrid finishes this season with only the Club Cup in their palmares. That said, I think that Xavi's position is much more comfortable than Ancelotti's at the moment.
