Barcelona will be champions this season under Xavi. I think Real Madrid will not be able to continue this race steadily. They are a team dependent on Benzema.
what about barcelona? i meant barcelona itself was also depending on lewandowski. Real madrid is always capable to surpass barcelona anytime. Barcelona can lose points anytime too. you were underestimating real madrid. You shall take a look at how real madrid capable to go to the last 16 of ucl while barcelona degrade to the europa league. Real madrid and barcelona are equal team at this moment. Barcelona can win la liga when barcelona will always getting win streak until the end of season. Real madrid has three points gap to the barcelona. being able to win against barcelona will make the points to be the same like barcelona. real madrid is still having chance to take the title for this season
La Liga still has 21 matches remaining until the end of the 2022/2023 season, winning the trophy in this competition is still very competitive for the two giants of the Spanish League. difference of three points, is not something difficult to be overtaken by Real Madrid from Barcelona. The reason is, these two teams still have one meeting remaining. at least, the El Clasico match later can be a decisive match to increase the points gap between these two teams.
IMO, Barcelona haven't delivered anything convincing for me yet. the only thing that makes Barcelona special, during the El Clasico match in the supercopa final. Barcelona presented a beautiful game in that match, but after that nothing was interesting anymore, especially when Lewandowski was absent.
On the Real Madrid side, Don Carlo's squad has experienced a decline in performance, especially when several midfielders were absent due to injury. the absence of Tchouameni, Luca Modric, affected the team's overall performance. So, I think the competition in the future will be even more intense. and in essence, both Barcelona and Real Madrid both have the chance to win a trophy this season.
