At the moment Real Madrid is 8 points ahead of Barcelona with 10 matches to go. There's a total of 30 points in those 10 matches, that's enough points for Barcelona to take Real Madrid if they slip up. Let the current standing not fool you, if Madrid doesn't take the league seriously now they'll lose it.
The fact that they have Man City doesn't mean they'll pay less attention to the league. Barcelona won the league last season and Madrid won't want them to win the league back to back, that would mean going 2 seasons without winning the league.
Madrid is a big team, the top 2 biggest teams in the world. They're not a team to sacrifice one trophy for the other. They want to win everything. They'll take the league as seriously as the Champions League and if you think winning the league is not difficult for Madrid then you have not been paying attention.
There have never been an elite side pointing for the La Liga title and also UCL except Real Madrid in spain. Real Madrid coach, Carlo Ancelotti focused will be divided because there are goals he's keen on accomplishing for the club. Real Madrid president, Florentino Pérez trusts him to deliver good job for the club. Real Madrid is the best team in Spain currently, you want to know why? Because they're #1 on the table and their performance have been on fire this season. They're thrashing every difficult opponents and this have been really tough side but they don't last when it comes to facing Real Madrid.
Yeah in La Liga nobody denies that Real Madrid is the best but in the Champions League it is uncertain I even have to say Real Madrid's performance in the Champions League this season is no better than other teams just look at the 2 results of their latest match not too impressive. At this time, Real Madrid might arrange this match schedule for a more important match so there is no need to be surprised if in some matches in LaLiga they don't play aggressively because they want to avoid injury.
Today Real Madrid will face Osasuna and Madrid will play away so don't be too confident if you bet on Real Madrid because there is a possibility they only play a draw, we can see Real Madrid only win 3 times and draw 2 times in the last 5 matches and I'm worried they will do the same thing before the important match in the Champions League, I mean they don't play some key players.
