After what Madrid experienced in the UCL, the players condition must be in a slump. Plus there are rumors that Ancelotti will leave at the end of this season, precisely after the CDR final. Like it or not, Ancelotti has given his best but his era is indeed over and Madrid must be able to adjust to the modern era game with a coach who has a better system. The La Liga trophy will be easily locked by Barcelona so it is quite difficult for Madrid to catch up on the points even though the difference is 4 points but in fact the quality of Real Madrid game is still far from ideal.
Real Madrid didn’t start very good this season but at some point they began to catch up a bit and now nearing the end of the season again they are about ending it in a bad way, beacuse they're out of the Champions League competition, no much hope for the La Liga trophy, and they're to face Barcelona in the final game of Copa del Rey, which is not gonna be easy for them and they may end up not lifting any major trophy this season, The only hope they got now is mainly in the Copa del Rey, and should do all they to lift the trophy.
Ancelotti has given his best to Real Madrid since he became their headcoach, and until his declining period, And I guess most of these club has understood his tactical system of play, it now seems he's not doing his job as job as supposed.
