For Real Madrid this should be a good chance to get a winning point because against Valladollid, with a point difference of only 2 points from first place, there is a possibility that Real Madrid will take first place from Barcelona, but I am sure that Barcelona will not lose to the enemy Espanyol according to them it will also be easy to beat so that there will be a very tight struggle for position.
Now the conditions for them to win are so strong that I think 3 points for each (Barcelona and Real Madrid) will still happen.
2 Points is no big deal and the league is still long enough for anything to happen. I'm pretty sure Madrid actually hope that there won't be any more problems for Benzema now because this is what Madrid needs to catch up with Barcelona who are currently at a slight disadvantage due to Lewandowski's absence.
