yes, I also think they decided to handle things this way
after all, Barcelona was too aggressive with La Liga
no use wasting resources
in fact I respect Carlo Ancelotti a lot, he is a very intelligent and pragmatic coach
This is what really happened, Barcelona's current condition is too far that as long as they are in the top 3 positions then that is good enough, of course their focus is still on the Copa del Rey and the Champions League.
Now they are still in real performance even if there are conditions that are not good but they are still quite stable so of course in order to take care of the players it is better to focus on the most important things.
