The whites have let eight points escape from their last five league games
They drew against Real Sociedad and lost against Villarreal and Mallorca; They were only able to beat Athletic and Valencia
Real Madrid added a new setback to their list of mistakes this Sunday against Mallorca since the start of 2023. The irregularity that the Madrid team has been showing in recent weeks is lowering their options for the fight for the League title. The FC Barcelona has the opportunity tonight to open a significant gap in the standings. If the Blaugrana beat Sevilla, they will be eight points ahead with 18 games to play.
The whites have only been able to add two victories (Valencia and Athletic) in the Santander League since the beginning of 2023, while they have dropped eight points as a consequence of their defeats against Villarreal and Mallorca, and the draw they achieved against Real Sociedad. A bad image that also carried over to the Spanish Super Cup, with a defeat against Barcelona in the final.
It is not being a good start to the year for the team Ancelotti. The injuries and his irregularity are hindering his options in the League. Of course, he keeps his options intact in the Champions League, where he will face Liverpool in the round of 16, and in the Copa del Rey, where he will face Barcelona in the semifinals.
