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.
Saying Madrid should let go of the LA Liga is like saying Madrid should let go of football (lol) practically that is almost impossible because even with all the set backs, Madrid still believes they have got a chance and can possibly win the trophy by the end of the season, I know Barcelona is already far ahead enough to cause some levels of tension such that Madrid should get a reason not to believe they still have a chance but anceloti is very Strong willed and would rather try than giving up already. improvement is sure and I know with time they will get back on their feet.
