Calculatingly chasing Barcelona is tough, Anceloti thinks realistically and I think any coach would think like that. In addition, Osasuna is statistically below Real Madrid, so Anceloti is very confident of winning. This is also done in the UCL in several matches Anceloti always rotates even though he does not do it fully, he always gives rest to some important players due to old age. It should be that if he is in Madrid next season he will do a lot of player spending.

I think Real Madrid is just playing to maintain prestige for the rest of the season without thinking about the title.
La Liga is very likely to be won by Barcelona this season and they are very close to celebrating. So Real Madrid only needs to play to win and maintain its prestige as a top team which is also the king of the Champions League. In fact the Champions League semi-final match is much more important than playing the maximum in all La Liga matches for the rest of the season.

Real Madrid will host Getafe this weekend, it's a win for us. I have to, I hope Real Madrid can really win it even if we lost to Sociedad in the previous match. Real Madrid's form may not be all that good given that Ancelotti will likely field a back-up squad and rest several key players for the second leg of the semi-final.

Yep, after all this is about the prestige that must be maintained even though the title will not be possible to get for La Liga this season but, still this is not a barrier that should remain in position 2.
At present, seeing from any aspect of Madrid's performance for La Liga has indeed decreased significantly and currently they even have a one-point gap. but on the other hand, this must also be used as one of the encouragements because even if the title is not obtained but of course the second position must be taken back from Atletico.

Against Getafe, who are now in the shadow of relegation, this should be easy even though Madrid will definitely rotate their players a little and Getafe also previously got 3 points in the previous week after winning against Celta Vigo but I don't think this will be a significant problem for Madrid's 3 points in their 34th week.
