A difference of two points sounds very easy, but the wave of injuries hitting Real Madrid makes it difficult for Ancelloti.
I think it's time for Madrid to worry about Girona because Cinderella Story Girona will continue,
and it will be increasingly difficult for Real Madrid during the European run.
Real Madrid needs to sign a good CB quickly in January to continue competing in all competitions.
Nacho and Rüdiger alone are not enough.
Recently in a news I came across tho I've not been able to verify it's authenticity but then it was stated that most of Madrid's injured players will be back soonest, making it look more like a short term stuff which they will recover soonest and be back so the team wouldn't have to suffer for too long but then like I stated earlier I'm yet to verify completely.
In the Case where my speculations are true then I don't think two points difference should be a thing to really worry about with ancellotis squad, it will take them only two matches and they will not only close the gap but will be ahead with some more points. One injured player that will really affect the performance of Madrid will have to be that of Bellingham and this seem like the second time he has suffered injury this season, he is now injury prone and acelloti have to be very strategic using him so as to avoid his absence in vital games in the nearest future.
