Now Barcelona is 8 points behind, I think it is very difficult for them to be able to compete with Real Madrid in the race for the title even though the two teams will meet in Week 32, but in terms of percentage Barcelona is not that big to be able to beat Real Madrid, in fact I think it will be Barcelona. will be further behind after that match.
It is realistic that Real Madrid's current strength is better than Barcelona.
In the remaining 9 matches there are still some difficult matches and realistically Barcelona can currently only compete with Girona in the race for 2nd place and that is more realistic than expecting Real Madrid to fall in several matches to be able to close the points gap, I think that is impossible .
I think the point difference that has been formed now will be able to be maintained by Madrid until the end of the season. Not without reason, among the 9 remaining matches ahead, only Barcelona is their toughest opponent going forward. If Madrid loses points in the El Clasico match, they will still have a difference of 5 points and lead the standings. But Barcelona seems to be having difficulty beating Madrid, as will Madrid next potential opponents. The competition for the trophy this season is not yet over, however Ancelotti should be wary of the pressure put on by Barcelona in the remaining matches ahead.
Meanwhile, the competition for fourth place in the standings is more interesting in my opinion, besides the competition for the runner-up position between Barcelona and Girona. Bilbao and Atletico will compete fiercely to get a ticket to the Champions League, currently the two teams are only separated by 1 point. If Bilbao continue to consistently achieve full points in the future, then they will prevent Simeone squad from appearing in the Champions League next season, unless Atletico this season can become champions in that competition. I predict Atletico will be able to finish in the top four of the standings by overtaking Bilbao's position when the season ends
