The gap now with Barcelona is 9 points and Madrid must really let go of La Liga and focus on fixing the stability of their squad. I don't doubt them but it would be better to be able to compete with Barcelona then it takes extraordinary consistency. Madrid is far behind not only in terms of player quality but also in terms of strategy there are not many options. Ancelotti seems to have lost his era now and the club needs an injection of a more aggressive coach, utilizing the abilities of his players so that they can create creativity in building attacks.
I never thought the difference points from Barcelona and Real Madrid will be very far just like this because Laliga is still in week 12 but Real Madrid still have 1 postponed match against Valencia so if they can win from this match then Real Madrid only 6 points behind but indeed i think nobody expect Barcelona is really fantastic because with their current financial condition Barcelona surprisingly can performing well and i have to says when Barcelona hire Hansi Flick as new manager seems they had just make good decision because under him it didn't take long for Barcelona to break Real Madrid's dominance
