Some people may not admit Real Madrid's weakness this season just because they are a team that has many quality and experienced players, but the fact is that Real Madrid is not as strong as before. They have ambition, but that ambition won't help much if the team's performance is unbalanced.
Outdated or not, the fact is that Ancelotti has little chance in the Copa del Rey as the end of his era. Having faced Barcelona several times, he still suffered defeat and the score was very large. The availability of the back line is also a factor in why Madrid conceded so easily. We'll see in the final later against Barcelona and don't be surprised if the next destruction is a heavy blow that makes the players mentality down.
Btw El Clasico meetings do not stop at the Copa del Rey, because the two meet again in La Liga. Imagine how disadvantageous Real Madrid is this season.
