Tonight is the final of the Copa Del Rey in Spain between Real Madrid and Osasuna. You would say that Real Madrid will win this without any problems. Very clever of Osasuna that they made it to the final, that is quite an achievement in itself. Osasuna is ranked 10th in the league. That's just the middle ground. They also have not been allowed to play many European tournaments. Real Madrid has also clearly entered a lesser phase, as they have been overtaken by city rivals Atletico Madrid. Who would have thought during the winter break that this would still happen? But Real Madrid has big plans in the CL, so 2nd or 3rd in the league is not a cup in either case, so that doesn't really matter. If Real win the tournament, Spain will get an extra ticket for the CL I think.

Most people say Real Madrid will win the Copa del Rey final. Besides that, winning the Copa del Rey is Real Madrid's big dream this season after 9 seasons without lifting the Spanish king's trophy. Osasuna is also a formidable club who are in 10th place in LaLiga and are entering the final of the Copa del Rey. But speaking of finals, Real will make every effort to win the match.

But Real Madrid still have matches that are so important for them, so to maintain the players' stamina they need to do well. The most important thing is to keep from getting injured, because the physical condition of some of the players is not doing well.

Real Madrid is currently not thinking about LaLiga, and this can be seen in the line-ups that are revealed in every match.

For now Real Madrid's focus is only on the final match of the Copa del Rey and Champions League. I think what Ancelotti did was quite reasonable meaning he was only thinking about very realistic things. After failing to defend the La Liga title, the Copa del Rey is a target that must be achieved. Don Carlo will continue to field his main squad to face Osasuna and I'm sure he still sees Osasuna as a serious opponent without taking it for granted. For Ancelotti, a trophy is an absolute thing that must be given to Madrid every season.

Ancelotti's achievements have brought the Real Madrid team to reach the semifinals of the Champions League, and this success can even make the Real Madrid coach proud.
It also seems that Ancelotti's failure to bring Real Madrid to the Spanish league is not a big problem because this is not the desired achievement point but the Champions League which is the main target for Real Madrid.
