Real Madrid have lost their momentum in the LaLiga Santander home stretch, having produced two goalless draws in their last three matches.

Chelsea are set to visit Valdebebas on Tuesday for the first leg of the Champions League semi-final and Zinedine Zidane’s men may have been more focused on that match than the task at hand against Real Betis.

These two dropped points could end up being decisive in the title race and their recent form won’t fill fans with confidence.

In the 2019/20 season, they picked up a remarkable 10 victories from 10 after lockdown to claim the title. 

After defeat to Levante at home in January, Los Blancos strung together a five-game winning streak to keep in touch at the top of the table.

After two draws against Real Sociedadand league leaders Atletico Madrid they put together another four straight wins in the league, as well as progressing in the Champions League and winning the Clasico.

The three massive games against Liverpool and Barcelona seem to have stretched Zidane‘s side to their limits. They were without Toni Kroos and Fede Valverde against Real Betis, who are two crucial creative players.

Attention must now turn to the English side and Zidane will have Toni Kroos available as well as former Chelsea manEden Hazard.

This is good news for Zidane, who needs as many fit players as possible if he wants to topple Thomas Tuchel‘s team.
