Many players from Real Madrid are currently injured, which makes all of Real Madrid's performance not good. Usually, Real Madrid is able to lead or at least compete in the first and second positions, but currently the point gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona is very wide, so Real Madrid is more choosing to stay calm and not really chase the first position anymore because it was impossible to catch.
