And madrid should double up because they are been left behind. Maybe they should get ready for champions league.
Barcelona is far ahead with high points and makes it difficult for Real Madrid to catch barcelona's points, after all, they are 11 points apart and this is a high achievement for Real Madrid if you want to catch Barcelona, you need the next few wins and a few defeats for Barcelona, but it's difficult happen. But what is certain, of course, is that now Real Madrid is much more focused on preparing for the Champions, where the second leg will begin soon even though they are already superior to their opponents.
If we assume that Real Madrid won all the remaining matches of the season, but they still need the defeat suffered by Barcelona, that makes it difficult for them many times over. The reason is that they do not only depend on their own destiny, but also on other clubs, namely Barcelona. Moreover, Barcelona is now in good condition to be able to win every match, even though in the last few matches they have had quite a hard time winning.
Actually there are other things that are equally important for Real Madrid, they are now ahead of Atletico Madrid with only 2 points advantage. Victory is not only to catch Barcelona (although it seems impossible) but they need victory to maintain their position from the threat of Atletico Madrid. If they stumble and drop points just once, then Atletico Madrid will be able to take their position.
