Since real madrid is having so many experiences in UCL and Ancelotti is still trying to take UCL as the main target. La liga may be abandoned by ancellotti but real madrid must keep winning the match to make sure if madrid will still stay at the second position of la liga.

Nah I don't believe such kind reason, Ancelotti always use their main line up in every leagues, if Ancelotti doesn't care with La Liga, Copa del Rey or any other leagues, he will just replace Benzema with Mariano Diaz, Rodriguez or Asensio. Ancelotti is focus in every league, if he can make Real Madrid to get every trophies, he will do it.

Too early to say Real Madrid will become a champion again, there are Napoli, Bayern Munich and PSG can be a big threat for Real Madrid.

In the Copa del Rey, we will probably see Madrid's first-tier squad. Because Madrid can't win El Clasico for a long time. It is indeed a shame for them. The team is consistently performing poorly against Barcelona. Fans are also very upset with the team. And so Ancelotti will want to win this match. At the same time, the possibility of winning the La Liga title is almost non-existent for Madrid. The Champions League title is uncertain. The competition in the Champions League is very high. While the Copa del Rey title is less important, though Ancelotti will want to secure it.

Real Madrid is a very experienced team in the Champions League platform. They know very well how to handle strong opponents. That's why even when the opposition is strong, the players don't get flustered. They are able to continue to perform well.

I agree with you that Real has had poor results in matches against Barcelona lately, but I would say that Real, at least in the last 2 matches against Barcelona, played very well and deserved to win but they were not lucky enough, and the referees damaged Real with their doubtful decisions.
However, in the Champions League, Real is always the favorite no matter how they play in the Spanish league or who they play against in the Champions League.
I would say that currently in the Champions League, the biggest favorites for the title are Manchester City, Bayern and Real.
