Real Madrid was lucky enoght to be in fight for the tittle against Girona and not against the big teams like Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, but now they are gonna need to save players for the Champions League matches against Manchester CIty which is way more important than the domestic games right now. Lets see how much points they drop in this run.
Currently, Real Madrid's focus must be greater for the UCL match because considering that the opponent is quite tough for them. Meanwhile, in La Liga, Real Madrid is far ahead of Girona, which has given Real Madrid enough space to continue to stay in first place until the end of this season. But for this season's UCL match, Real Madrid must be able to play differently in order to beat the Manchester City team which last season was successful in the UCL and also successful in its own domestic league.
Yeah you are right, Real Madrid will focus on the Champions League matches and in Laliga they are safe with 10 points ahead their only competitor is Barcelona and Barcelona is also struggling in the Champions League. Meanwhile Girona is another competitor but their performance has been very poor recently so there is no need to worry, this means that Real Madrid can focus more on other competitions.
