Against Albacete, that could tell us that it's going to be one way or another.

What we saw against Albacete was just nothing.

Tactically, collectively, there was just nothing.

They scored two goals, I know, but there was just nothing with the ball, really.

So, let's see.

But even that, even against a Levante team that, by the way, has changed manager and since Luis Castro has come over...

towards the end of mid-December, they've actually unbeaten and they just won against Sevilla and drew against Real Sociedad.

So they're not in bad form compared to the form of Real Madrid with two defeats in a row.

But surely, surely the crisis has to stop right now.

And already they're thinking about next season and players.

We saw some of those rumours about them wanting to get Erling Haaland in the summer.

Good luck with that.

But the big thing for me as well for this Levante game is what about Kylian?

If Kylian is fit,

and they want him to be fit, and they want him to play, and he doesn't really feel fit himself, and he doesn't want to play tomorrow, that could be something.

Because they've been so dependent on him, so extra reliant on him, that if he's not there, I'm not sure where they go.

Because he's the one that has won them games on his own pretty much.

And without him, it's going to be more difficult.

That's why they're pushing for him to play tomorrow.

Even against Levante, that's how bad things are.
