Real Madrid is very focused on the Champions League this year. As a result, their position in La Liga is a bit bad, but I see great potential for Real Madrid in the Champions League. The Real Madrid team's performance is likely to make it to the Champions League final.
If you compare it to last season where Real Madrid won the Champions League and also La Liga. I think that this season Real Madrid has experienced a decline in performance so they are unable to focus on several different competitions, especially in La Liga where Real Madrid is now lagging behind its eternal rival. So Real Madrid this season is not only focused on the Champions League, but the ability to focus on many competitions that have been reduced and Real Madrid's condition this season is very different from Real Madrid's condition last season.
