A 9 point gap could potentially cause Real Madrid to fail in defending their title, the situation will be even more difficult if Barcelona progress remains unstoppable.
It is now clear what Real Madrid truly needs. Without Toni Kroos, the Los Blancos front line cannot function at its best. This indicates that Toni Kroos is a key figure who maintains the depth of the game. Ancelotti can no longer expect more from Modric due to his age. Of course, Real Madrid fans also miss the sensational loan player, Joselu. Florentino Perez is aware that the squad transition is not going according to his wishes, coupled with a number of injured players, he must move to find the next Toni Kroos.
In addition to Real Madrid's front line which is no longer functioning optimally this season, Real Madrid's young players are also not often relied on in every important match so that they also cannot make better developments in the current Real Madrid squad. And currently Barcelona continues to make progress through their game in any match until they are able to create an extraordinary distance with Real Madrid in La Liga this season.
