Barcelona is almost certain to lose the La Liga title this season when Real Madrid leads the standings with an 8-point advantage with 9 games remaining. Real Madrid is comfortable enough to maintain its performance until the end of the season, but if they drop a few points in the next few games then maybe Barcelona can get closer.
The matches against Bilbao and Mallorca are something that Real Madrid must win before El Clasico, so if both can be won then it doesn't matter if Real Madrid loses in El Clasico. However, it would certainly be dangerous for Real Madrid if they lost one of the matches against Bilbao and Mallorca, they would be in danger of losing points in El Clasico too.
As a matter of fact, Barcelona needs to keep its footing in the subsequent games and seasons otherwise, El Clásico, which used to be the toughest and most intriguing competition, would end up being nonexistent. Barcelona must match their performances with those of Real Madrid and work very hard to become more challenging than their rivals. It’s concerning that Real Madrid is currently over eight points ahead of Barcelona when the league is almost over. This indicates that Real Madrid is facing no serious challenge in winning the trophy, with less than 10 matches left in the season. I don’t expect the same situation for Barcelona next season, so the coach needs to put in every effort to ensure he utilizes some of the best players in the world in his team and develops more young players, even in the academy, to increase competition with Real Madrid. We cannot afford to lose the days when El Clásico would put pressure on people to the point of sweating profusely in support of either Barcelona or Real Madrid.
