Madrid or Barcelona have yet to face a truly strong team in La Liga. it's still early days and consistency to keep winning is very rarely seen in the league competition. especially with La Liga where there are strong teams competing with each other.
Madrid and Barcelona have great opportunities for this season. Madrid must immediately maintain a distance of points at least in the first 10 matches if they want to be safe enough from Barcelona's pursuit. Madrid, with the quality of their players evenly distributed, should have a greater chance of maintaining the consistency of their performance than Barcelona.

Just after two rounds nothing is clear, but both teams are surely having good chemistry and expectations are also high for the tough fight at the top because both clubs are having comparable situation and performance as well with Real Madrid which was after losing Karim Benzema having not quality striker also doing impressive which is good signal for them and their fans and Barcelona is also having good start even they take time for the first goal but still it's a good start for them.

With this all no other team is having any depth for the title race because mostly are facing lack of quality players even Sevilla, Real Sociedad and Atlético Madrid are also not strong which can give fight at the top so most chances we are going to have tough rivalry at the top between two big clubs.

I still appreciate Barcelona more than Madrid. Madrid this season proved weaker without striker Benzema. Right now, I don't see anyone who can replace him. Barcelona is showing strength when possessing a comprehensive attacking squad. As we have seen, friendly match between 2 teams. Barcelona easily beat Real Madrid.
This year's championship race will undoubtedly be easy for Barcelona. Real Madrid will have a hard time meeting a big team.
