Real Madrid is leading the La Liga table right now and they are definitely showing a dominant performance. I did think that Barcelona is going to be in the second position and consistently be at a one or two point difference with Real Madrid. But Barcelona seems to not have that same level of performance. Barcelona has been a little inconsistent in this season, considering the fact that they are the defending champions of this La Liga competition. They should have been performing better. They should also put all their resources into actually winning the La Liga title because frankly, they do not have any chance of winning the Champions League.
Seriously, I don't think that Barcelona are in the great form that fans are expecting from them, and with the way they are always struggling to win games nowadays, I really noticed that it will be hard for Barcelona to top the table for a long time this season unless they put in more effort. In some matches that Barcelona have played this season, they are always the first to concede goals, and later they will struggle to win, which shows that Barcelona's form is not that strong. The way Real Madrid is going now, I don't think they will drop from first place in the table because they are playing strongly every day. Barcelona is not in that great form, but nobody can say they can't win the Champions League because this is what people were saying when Chelsea won their last Champions League in 2021 because of their poor start. Let us not easily conclude because Barcelona is doing well in the Champions League currently.
I believe your observation is quite good here. Barcelona still has problems to win games easily, but Real Madrid is the same. Keep in mind how many games Real Madrid now had to win in the last seconds of the game and most of the time it worked out for them, but the time will come when instead of a win for Real Madrid those games end in a draw and they drop points as well.
Atletico Madrid has a pretty good run right now and I am curious if they will be able to intervene in the fight for the title or whether they will lose steam very soon. For the league it would be good to have 3 teams fighting for the La Liga title finally again.
