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.
Even if Ancelotti leaves the club next week as they said, he will get a good job easily because of the reputation and history he has made in his coaching career; Brazil National team might be his next job.
