What you're saying is true, 9 points is a lot
but the season, let's still say, is long. We still have a good month of games to finish the winter part of the competition so it's a good 12-15 points
after the Christmas holidays a large portion of the team will leave beyond the goal, there are still many points
It is clear that this advantage has a psychological impact
Some Real Madrid fans think that the 9 point difference is not too big, this is because they believe that every Real Madrid player has a Yamaha 85 PK engine installed on each back that is capable of covering that point gap in the near future. I don't know how optimistic they are this season after getting a first-hand look at the team's performance so far, but the fans still want the best.
Basically, I don't completely deny things like that, of course because I quite often find that Real Madrid can recover and catch up with the points gap before the end of the season. However, if they fall further behind, then everything will be very difficult to recover and the possibility of failing to defend the title will be even higher. Meanwhile, Real Madrid is 1-2 behind Milan in the ongoing match. Milan could have locked in victory if they had scored 1 additional goal for a score of 1-3.
I know I know. Your comparison with Yamaha really made me laugh and roll with laughter ahah
However, it is undeniable even for a fan that something is wrong: look at the defeat against Milan, it is obvious that Real Madrid are at leasst x3 times superior.
How can you lose against Milan if something goes wrong?
Ancelotti seems really tired to me at the moment
