Real Madrid is furious because they think they are being treated unfairly.
Real Madrid accused La Liga of scheduling matches too harshly, forcing them to play two consecutive matches within just 72 hours. According to coach Ancelotti: "This is the last time we play a match without 72 hours of rest. There will not be a second time. If this happens, we will not play."

The Italian coach also confirmed: "We asked La Liga to change the match time twice. But they did nothing."
Meanwhile, La Liga issued a statement responding to coach Ancelotti and Real Madrid: "They have absolutely no request to change the match schedule. This schedule has been set since February 25. Furthermore, the 72-hour deadline is not mandatory but only a recommendation. La Liga has never imposed it as alleged by Real Madrid."
Real Madrid just played the second leg of the Champions League round of 16, winning 4-2 against Atletico Madrid after a controversial penalty shootout with Julian Alvarez's shot being deemed to have touched the ball twice (2-2 draw after 2 matches), on March 13. Coach Ancelotti's team did not have enough time to rest, but continued to travel to the away field to meet Villarreal in round 28 of La Liga on March 16 (Vietnam time).
Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, who also play in the Champions League in midweek, are scheduled to kick off at 3am on March 17, with an extra day off to recover.
Therefore, because of this issue, Real Madrid believes that they have been treated unfairly by La Liga and have reacted strongly. According to the Spanish press, Real Madrid President, Mr. Florentino Perez, even wanted to bring the matter to FIFA to protest, because he believes that La Liga President, Mr. Javier Tebas wants to find a way to make Real Madrid fail in the championship race.
Haaland scores 100 Premier League goals in just 94 games
Real Madrid, after a 2-1 win over Villarreal thanks to Mbappe's double in the 17th and 23rd minutes, after Juan Foyth's opening goal in the 7th minute, temporarily took the top spot in La Liga with 60 points after 28 matches. Atletico Madrid (56 points) and Barcelona (57 points) will face each other in this round, with the result deciding the extremely heated "three-horse" championship race.
Man City still can't accelerate
In round 29 of the Premier League, Man City drew 2-2 with Brighton, still ranking 5th with 48 points, and only 9 matches left.
This makes coach Pep Guardiola extremely worried that the remaining goal of this season, which is to win a place in the Champions League, may not be achieved. He said: "We have 9 matches left, they will be 9 finals. Everything will be decided in these final rounds."
In Man City's draw, striker Erling Haaland scored the opening goal, reaching 100 goals in the Premier League after only 94 matches. Thereby, setting a historical milestone, the first time a player has achieved this feat. However, this record still cannot help Man City overcome the difficulties in an extremely difficult season, only the FA Cup is the hope of winning the consolation championship.
