Because Real Madrid’s setback in the second part of the championship is also reflected in the figures: four wins, two draws, two losses, 17 goals for and five against. The operations dictate that Ancelotti’s men have reached 14 out of 24 possible points. Straight away They only lead the mattresses by five points.

When you look at half full, ending the season with these feelings would be very important, not just for to take second place (unthinkable a few months ago) but also to dream big during the next academic year.
