Is it possible, whether Barcelona have a winning streak and at the same time Real Madrid have a losing streak? Because anyway, it seems like only thatscenario that makes Real Madrid fail to get the trophy, only such a scenario willmake Barcelona able toovertake Real Madrid at the top of the La Liga standings. After all,ofcourse, Real Madrid also has goodquality and performance, so it seems very unlikely that this scenario willhappen. Forexample, Barcelona beat Real Madrid and made the gap to 5 points, but for the next match I sure that Real Madrid is also able to consistently win again in each match. If that happens, then Real Madrid will still be at the top of the table until the end of theseason.

If it was like last season, I would agree maybe. But this season Real Madrid has had an overhaul compared to last season and they got new players like Bellingham and Rodrygo is like an additional transfer as he is playing much better these days. I don't see how Real Madrid would lose balance and consistency such that they lose 3 out of their last 9 games while Barcelona literally wins every single game until the end of the season. It is doable, but it is unlikely.
Apart from Real Madrid which has experienced improvement this season, the Barcelona team has also experienced the opposite, Barcelona has decreased a lot in terms of quality when compared to last season so that Real Madrid is without any pressure and makes them play comfortably and give their best performance in every match.
Now Barcelona's revival is too late, they are already too far behind and the Real Madrid team's performance is also very consistent so it is impossible to hope that Real Madrid will slump in the remaining matches this season.
Yes, it's true that Barcelona's improvement was a little late because they started to recover towards the end of the season where Real Madrid had widened the gap with Barcelona far enough that Barcelona lost the opportunity to overtake with a large point gap, at least Barcelona could maintain the runner up position so that Girona would not be taken over again, if Barcelona loses points again, Barcelona must take advantage of Girona's setback in maintaining its consistency and continuing to achieve victory after victory.
