In this round of La Liga, Real Madrid drew 2-2 at home to Elche, and only scored 1 point after this round. Although Real Madrid are still at the top of the La Liga table, their lead is not too big. If the downturn continues in the second half of the season, the La Liga champions are likely to spend time on other teams.
Ancelotti's side have been a classic example of the rich and the poor in the league this season, with Real Madrid losing seven league games in La Liga this season, six of which are against teams facing the lower half. Elche, who drew in this round, is currently 15th in the league and is a completely weak team for Real Madrid.
Ancelotti has always been unstable in the abuse of dishes, and it is very telling that when he was in charge of Real Madrid, he ended up with a good 22-game winning streak in the opening game. Unstable dishes in the league are a big taboo for Real Madrid. Teams that have always wanted to win the league title are not allowed to do so.
After the rise of Vinicius this season, it is widely believed that Real Madrid has officially opened the era of revival. However, this does not ignore the many problems that exist in Real Madrid itself. The team lost Ramos and Varane last summer, and after bringing in Alaba and reusing Militão, Real Madrid's defensive line was not solid. That's the main reason they love to concede goals against mid-range and lower-down teams. In particular, Militang, who often short-circuited and unstable performance, has become the biggest hidden danger in the Real Madrid defense.
This season' Real Madrid front has shined, with Benzema and Vinicius becoming the strongest attacking combination in Europe, but this cannot hide the fatal problems in the Real Madrid front. In addition to relying on the personal ability of Benzema and Vinicius, it is difficult for real Madrid forwards to find other ways to score goals, and there are not many ways for the whole team to score goals. Especially when caught in a positional battle, Real Madrid's offensive routine almost fails, and if vis-Vithos and Benzema are in bad shape, it will be even more deadly.
All in all, there is still some time to go until the end of the season, and Real Madrid's top position in La Liga is not stable. In the Champions League knockout round, they will also encounter the grand Paris of the big lineup, and judging from the recent state of Real Madrid, their hard power may be difficult to carry the attack line of the greater Paris luxury.
