Real Madrid’s League Hopes Still Alive Despite Derby Draw and Rival’s Resurgence

You can always see the bottle half full or half empty. As soon as the derby finished, the downturn in Madrid was evident. To leave the League almost sentenced, waiting for the visit next Saturday of the Girona at the Bernabeu, to leave things a little more open with Llorente’s last-gasp goal. At least, giving some life to rivals who saw themselves already out of the fight for the title until that last red-and-white breath.

Things aren’t that bad, but they could be much better, I thought. Ancelotti and his players with a somewhat colder analysis. The thing is like this: Atlético remains as it was, ten points away, a distance that continues to be more than important, Barcelona takes advantage of the draw in the derby to stay within eight points and the Girona It remains within two, also as it was before the start of the match at the Bernabu, given that it played at home this past Saturday with a draw against Real.

Surely, if Ancelotti They asked him at the beginning of the season that he was going to have Barça at eight points and Atlético at ten with 15 games left, that is, 30 points, he would have signed it anywhere.

Ancelotti He already began to work on the mood of his players in the press room. I spoke of the return of Rdiger and the opportunity that there is next day to open a gap with the Girona if they are able to win. Despite the decline in the derby, Madrid has a more favorable schedule than the rest of its rivals. Bara have to pay a visit to the Ashes still and the whites have already played in fields like St. Mams or Pizjun. The Blaugrana, despite their victory in Vitoria, are experiencing a moment of doubt and will have to improve a lot to be able to overcome that advantage of Ancelotti’s team.

As for Atlético, the Cup semi-finals against Athletic They are going to concentrate their efforts, leaving in two days. As in the case of Madrid and Barcelona, ​​the Champions League also returns this February and has even less margin for error than the Blaugrana in the League.
