After three successive Champions League triumph at the Santiago Bernabeu, the Madrid hierarchy might just be looking to prioritize winning the Spanish La Liga than the Champions League.
Real Madrid have only managed to win two La Liga trophies in the last ten seasons. The Galacticos immediate rivals, Barcelona have a massive 7-title and Atletico Madrid have settled with one La Liga title in the same number of seasons (2008/2009 – 2017/2018).

Barcelona's domestic dominance should be a cause for concern in Madrid, and as such will be looking for ways to wrestle the Spanish domestic league away from the domineering La Liga champions..
Real Madrid paid a steep domestic price to retain their Champions League crown in the 2017/2018 season as they finished third on the La Liga table. The Galacticos had 76 points in 38 games, an outcome that made them finish 17 points behind eventual league winners Barcelona who had 93 points.
