Real Madrid are currently focusing on two league titles at the same time, despite some poor matches in La Liga. Real Madrid are trying hard to secure victory in the Champions League and their biggest obstacle in La Liga is Barcelona.
Especially for La Liga, to focus on stay in the current position yeah I agree, but to focus on take Barcelona's position at the top, I don't think so
This season's situation does not allow Real Madrid to do what they did last season to bring home two titles at once
Barcelona will ensure the La Liga title for them this season, it is comparable to their performance in La Liga
They need a miracle to win the next four matches and at the same time hope that Barcelona loses their next four to even have a chance to catch up. However, it seem unrealistic. I do think it would be wiser for Real Madrid to focus on maintaining their current position in the league rather than pinning all their hopes on catching up to Barcelona. Let's face the truth, it's going to be a tough task to overtake them at this point. They can shift their attention to the UEFA Champions League and aim to win that once again.
