Real Madrid is indeed a team that has a fairly strong and sturdy mentality, with their always optimal performance making them at the top of the rankings with the highest points and also with their points being far enough away to be able to lead and stay in the position they really want. considering that their matches are always superior even though there are several matches that they lose, Real Madrid can get through all matches quite well, including against teams that are equally strong.
with the points they have, they can indeed excel and take the lead. It also seems impossible for other teams, including Barcelona, to overtake the position of those who have superior points, because with 8 points, in my opinion, it will be very difficult if Barcelona wants to overtake them, with their match. Next, against Barcelona, in my opinion, it will be a big and hot match, because we all know that these two teams are teams that compete closely in previous seasons, it's just that currently Barcelona is quite far behind in points.
the main impetus for Real Madrid to achieve great achievements every season is the experience that Real Madrid has which provides strength and a mentality that is ready to accept all obstacles even though sometimes they have to compete with other teams in La Liga but in fact they still remain at the top of the La Liga standings.
and on the one hand, Madrid can now qualify for the semi finals of the UCL, giving great encouragement to all Madrid players to maintain consistency and maintain the physical condition of all the players so as not to miss out on the UCL and La Liga titles this season.
the current point difference does not mean that they have locked in the La Liga title and Barcelona could catch up with the point difference that Real Madrid currently has, but it's just that currently Madrid performance is more stable so Barcelona won't be able to catch up with the point difference even though they always win, but Madrid too will always get additional points in every match.
