Real under the leadership of Carlo Ancelotti this season looks extremely stable team. Maybe the game of the team does not always correspond to the level of players, but the result "creamy" give. From the negative only defeat in the derby from Atletico, after which Real defeated Girona in the championship and defeated Napoli in the Champions League. This was followed by a rout of Osasuna and a draw with Sevilla in the domestic arena, as well as an away win over Braga in the European competition.
In the last round, Jude Bellingham brought victory to his team in El Clasico over Barcelona. It is also worth noting that in matches with lesser status teams Real looks even more confident. In the La Liga standings, Madrid is first, but only by extra points ahead of Girona.

From the negative only a blatant humiliation in the match with Atletico Madrid (0:7). By the way, in that game the team conceded half of all goals in the championship.
