La Liga is not over yet, because Real Madrid was able to draw within four points of Barcelona with a 1-0 win over Getafe Weg van Huis. Rotating with one eye on the Copa del Rey final, where they will be confronted opposite Barcelona on Saturday, Carlo Ancelotti trusted in depth players while Arda Guler scored the final winning goal to achieve all three points on Wednesday.
Although Los Blancos has a deep grid on paper, rotating has fallen lately because the team has not been deep enough to give the head to their injuries and absent. But Guler made some sorcery with its weakness to ensure that the title race would continue. Only 20, it was an eight -year season for Guler, because this was his first goal for Real Madrid since January 6 in the Copa del Rey.
Without Kylian Mbappe, and with Jude Bellingham on the couch, someone had to get up, and Guler could do that exactly. Of Barcelona wins TuesdayPressure was turned off on Real Madrid to win this game, and they responded by doing exactly. After being beaten by Arsenal from the Champions League, the season of Real Madrid comes down to two things – back in La Liga and winning the Copa del Rey. Thibaut Courtois made a huge salvation at the end of the game to ensure that the La Liga -Drome would stay alive.
With the addition of Mbappe, this is a team that is expected to compete for everything on their path, but with their backs to the wall there is a chance that Real Madrid will not win trophies this season.
Focus on the cup
Being able to rest players such as Bellignham and Rodrygo is crucial to ensure that Real Madrid can bring their best to the Copa del Rey final. There may be questions about whether Los Blancos has an identity or balance on the field, but they have gone as far as Bellingham can bring them during his time at the club. Detelers such as Guler may have tried to make their way to the Copa del Rey who starts XI, but if things are on the rocks, he may have to help them save them. Mbappe will come back for that competition and will probably lead the border, but even without Robert Lewandowski available, it will be difficult for Real Madrid to overthrow Barcelona.
Add that Eduardo Camavinga and David Alaba are expected to miss the final, according to Ancelotti, Real will have to have a complete version to lift the crown.

Can Real Madrid win the title?
Each team only has five games left in the competition season, including a Clasico between them. Real Madrid will have to win that to get a chance on the title, but they also need Barcelona to drop points elsewhere. Athletic Club On the last day, the most likely opportunity for Barcelona is, but depending on how it goes, the title can be won in that phase. Real Madrid organizes Celta Vigo and Mallorca around El Clasico, who are both must-win competitions. With Barcelona still in the Champions League, Hansi Flick will be forced to rotate more than Ancelotti, but the team to win El Clasico will probably lift the La Liga trophy at the end of the season.
