Right from the beginning of this season, I already know that Real Madrid is not in their best form and they have been going through the tough period but they most times cover up that you will not understand but it is gradually showing. When Real Madrid overtook Barcelona around October last year, I knew that Barcelona will come back, and I am surprised it took longer to happen.
The ups and downs of performance are common and at the moment Madrid is clearly feeling a difficult situation now even though they have gained momentum even with more than 5 points ahead of Barcelona but Madrid's inability to try to maintain consistency is complicated for themselves and now the situation is getting worse in the end where for now they are likely to widen the gap in points because in recent weeks they have not done well when they only won 2 draws, 2 losses and 1 win in the 5 matches they did.
Barcelona haven't played their game yet but the possibility of being 3 points behind Barcelona and 2 points behind Madrid is a situation that seems most likely at the moment and I think this should be a concern for Ancelotti because if left unchecked then it could definitely be worse than expected.
