Looking at Real Madrid's current performance I agree with you that we cannot favor Real Madrid in every match. Real Madrid is inconsistent this season but in La Liga their performance is not that bad. They are still consistent in the top ranking with only 2 defeats. But their performance is indeed inconsistent in UCL with 3 wins and 3 defeats. They are in 20th place in UCL and their position can be taken by any team in the ranking below them. The difference in points in the UCL standings is very thin with only 1 or 2 points. But if you look at Real Madrid's mentality I am sure they will qualify for the next round even through the playoffs. I think we have often seen Real Madrid make an extraordinary comeback like in the match against Valencia.
That’s just the facts about Real Madrid performance in this champion league their performance look unserious compared to how the there make a strong performed in the La Liga, but my own view of thinking is that may be they’ve more interest on the La Liga then others leagues that’s why they put much efforts in that league.
The best thing for Real Madrid team to do is that they should go and face the La Liga, instead of them should be wasting their time and energy in the champions league and their performance is didn’t improve anymore; look at then in table they far left behind.
