I believe Xabi Alonso is the sole candidate for the managerial job at Real Madrid based on his achievements with Bayer Leverkusen in such a short while as coach of the German side. But this doesn't necessarily mean that if he eventually gets the job that he would perform the same way he has done with Leverkusen. In Spain it could be very difficult due to pattern and the tempo of the competition in the Spanish La liga.

Moreover being the coach of Real Madrid comes with lots of responsibilities including consistency, which means if you fail to be consistent for a very long period of time then you might be shown the way out because at Real Madrid they have a very slim tolerance for failure. So if Xabi Alonso finally takes up the job then he should be ready to face all challenges involved.

There is no point in discussing this, because Ancelotti is not going to leave the team, he has gone through difficult times for Real with dignity and now they are leading La Liga and in the Champions League they are only one point away from the top 8, I think they will win the match with Brest without problems. So Ancelotti will definitely do everything to defend the title of champion in La Liga and the Champions League.

I can boldly say that Ancelotti will be able to defend the title in Laliga and not in Champions League, because Barcelona is a big problem for them. If Real Madrid clashes with Barcelona, Barcelona will knock them out, because Barcelona is superior to them this season. We have seen how the match ended twice that they clashed this season.

Barcelona scored nine goals against them in two games. Real Madrid could only score two goals against Barcelona. Even though Real Madrid is the leader in the league, Barcelona has become a pain in the neck for them. If Barcelona matches Real Madrid in the Champions League, I think there is a possibility that Real Madrid will be eliminated. Also, such an elimination could even be like an early final. However, Real Madrid is playing exceptionally in the Champions League. Maybe Real Madrid can play better in the match they will play in the Champions League.

Real Madrid and Barcelona have met in two matches so far this season where Real Madrid lost by a big margin at home to Barcelona and Real Madrid again lost by a big margin against Barcelona in their next match. Real Madrid have single-handedly won El Clasico matches in other seasons, but this season they are unable to compete against Barcelona. Barcelona have scored 9 goals in two matches against Real Madrid which is very disappointing for Real Madrid. Although Real Madrid is slightly ahead of Barcelona in La Liga, the way Barcelona is performing, Barcelona can overtake Real Madrid at any time. We know Real Madrid have enough injury problems but on the field there will be no compromise on these issues so they have to think of alternatives and improve their performance in any way otherwise Real Madrid is unlikely to do well.

Although Barcelona has performed well against Real Madrid in the EL Classic matches, and Barcelona has successfully won the matches. Here Barcelona has played stronger than Real Madrid but Real Madrid can play their game stronger and was disappointed. However, since currently Real Madrid is in better form in La Liga than Barcelona and they are in a better position in the point table. Since Real Madrid is still 7 points ahead of Barcelona, Barcelona still has to play very strongly to close this point gap. In the meantime, Real Madrid will definitely try to improve their performance just to maintain their top position. I think it will be very difficult for Barcelona to capture Real Madrid's position this season and Real Madrid still has enough chances to stay at the top. Currently, Atletico Madrid is a much more competitive team than Barcelona, so they are competing quite a bit with Real Madrid to become champions.
