Correct, Real Madrid had to struggle to secure 3 points at Alaves home. I think if Mbappe had not received a red card for his reckless tackle, Real Madrid might have won the match with more goals. It is natural that Ancelotti squad lost statistically to Alaves, because they lacked the number of players. Alaves who are struggling to stay away from the relegation zone were unable to take advantage of the opportunities that existed, and basically they were not a worthy opponent for Ancelotti squad. With 7 matches left, Real Madrid are still 4 points behind Barcelona. The competition for the La Liga trophy will be even fiercer towards the end of the season, and mediocre clubs have the potential to create disruption.
Sometimes I just imagine what is really wrong with one of the Spanish laliga champions, it is not funny anymore, in their last 5matches they were just able to win 2 matches, loss 2 , draw 1 which me is not a good result for a team like Realmadrid, I think alves is not supposed to be a problem for them, though relegation zone teams are always spoilers but in the case of Realmadrid, I sense a crack in the team which they really need to look into urgently, alaves is acuppying the 17th position in the Spanish laliga standings with 30points bagged having played 31 matches out of 38, so for me I didn't dream of seeing them being stopers to Realmadrid, with the look of things, I don't see anything that will stop Barcelona from being the Spanish laliga league champions this season because with this performance of Realmadrid, nothing should be expected from them, buddy I don't see any tighter or tougher fight ahead in this season laliga competition again rather I see Barcelona winning the trophy though that's my take
