Real Madrid is currently one step safer in Laliga because the 8 point difference certainly means they are without pressure and can play relaxed but still not underestimate their opponents, including when they meet Barcelona later. I am willing to bet that in Elclasico, Real Madrid will win the match because this season Real Madrid is the owner of Elclasico. but not for the Madrid Derby, they lost both home and away matches against Atletico Madrid. Barcelona this season is not very impressive so I think this season Real Madrid will find it easier to win the La Liga trophy with 9 matches remaining.
I am also optimistic about Real Madrid's title chances so far, but none of us can be sure whether Real Madrid will not lose it. It is true that winning 8 points with 9 matches remaining is something to be proud of, but the title competition will heat up even more if Real Madrid fails to win in several matches while Barcelona wins.
Basically I don't worry too much about it, but for me it is the worst consequence that should not be ignored. I just hope that Real Madrid will continue to lead the standings until the end of the season even if they have to lose some unexpected points in the remainder of the season, that's still good in my opinion.
Ancelotti knows exactly about your concerns about the potential for Real Madrid to fail to win the title without the threat of Barcelona. Bbut I believe that winning 8 points is a blessing in itself for Real Madrid to remain comfortable in every remaining match this season, even for the El Clasico match against Barcelona.
Regarding the UCL League, Real Madrid will face the defending champions and of course Man City is not just any team, last season made Real Madrid helpless. However, this season Real Madrid is a little lucky because several players have arrived, such as Jude and Brahim, who will make a surprise when facing Man City. Moreover, there was news circulating that Man City had lost its mainstay defender, Walker, who suffered an injury while defending his country. This will be an advantage for Real Madrid. Moreover, Vini will have more freedom to play her role.
I hope Jude Bellingham and a few others can help, but Manchester City also have an advantage. Manchester City is a good team in every sense, but it is true that Ancelotti has the ideal squad this season not to repeat the same mistakes in the quarter-finals, unless some of them are injured.
