I don't think winning the La Liga title this season will be easy for Barcelona. Real Madrid's main goal is of course the Champions League title. But Ancelotti will certainly want to continue his good performances in La Liga. And Ancelotti is a very experienced coach. He knows very well how to keep the team's performance stable. Ancelotti will continue his pursuit of both the La Liga and Champions League titles unless any key Madrid player is out of the squad due to injury.
Barcelona is only 7 points ahead of Madrid. And in the last match also the Barcelona team lost against a team like Almeria. Losing points against weaker teams will make it difficult for Barcelona to win the title. Xavi should be more aware.

It is almost never easy to win the La Liga trophy, but for now it doesn't look bad but that can change quickly if they lose against Real Madrid in La Liga and also have one more accident like against Almeria, Real Madrid could be right behind them. 8 points look comfortable for now, but there are too many games to be played and it is not the time yet to say that the season is over. Now they have all the injured players as well and Real Madrid knows about it.

Honestly, I don't think Barcelona has anything to worry about even now. Because they are 7 points ahead of Real Madrid right now. Barcelona is in the first position on the table. That can easily change. If Barcelona is not careful Real Madrid can easily catch up to them.

Barcelona is not going to let the huge advantage that they have right now go away for nothing. Quite a few matches are still left. Barcelona has an advantage which is they do not have to worry about the Champions League. But Real Madrid does. Barcelona has to be consistent. If they throw away this advantage, I don't know what to say.

The first position can be deceptive at times. It is no guarantee and there are still too many games to play than to now say that Barcelona shouldn't worry, or even worry at all.

Now that Real Madrid lost two points again I think Barcelona can feel much more comfortable in their position even with the upcoming game against Real Madrid in La Liga. Now it is still 6 points even when Barcelona loses that game. When we started this convo, it was 7 points and in case of a loss would have been 4 points, which is not that much if you take into account that Barcelona can also lose games like that one against Almeria.
