Real Madrid were very lucky. Osasuna's players performed well in this match. Even then they can't win. They lost against Ancelotti's experienced match tactics. However, everyone expected Madrid to win this match. Real Madrid were favorites in this match and they won. Even so, their victory against Osasuna was not easy. Osasuna fought hard. A slightly better performance was expected from Benzema. Also, without Luka Modric, Madrid's midfield was not strong enough today. Without Modric in the squad against Manchester City, it will be difficult for Madrid to perform well.
Congratulations to Madrid, the second cup after the club world cup. I was quite worried in the final minutes because there were some pretty good chances for Osasuna. There are not many opportunities for in La Liga. The difference in points is too much. I won't expect much for the La Liga champion this season. I think Real Madrid should start focusing on the UCL. Because UCL is one that has great opportunities. Even if Man City's opponent is also difficult.
Madrid will not be able to win the La Liga title this season. And they are not even fighting for the La Liga title. Madrid's main goal was the Champions League and secondly, they played to win the Copa del Rey title. And that's exactly what Ancelotti was able to achieve by beating Osasuna. Now Madrid will only focus on the Champions League. They will want to win against Manchester City by any means. And so it wouldn't be surprising if Madrid dropped points and lost second place in the table in a few more La Liga matches. I think at the end of this season we will see the Real Madrid team in third place on the points table
