This is yesterday result which am very impressed only when Real Madrid won the match against Villarreal to have more points gap from one point to four points which is still not enough because any mistakes now will result in losing the gap, but I don't expect that to happen now because they still have Barcelona ahead of them which the have the same points now but Barcelona are still in their 8th march and today they will make it up to 9th matches the same as Real Madrid and if the win the point gap move from zero to three points as before.
It is starting to become clear what was predicted: that the only two contenders to win the league will be Madrid and Barcelona. A priori Barcelona have an easy game today against Alavés, and even if it is away from home they should have no problems. Only a draw would keep them ahead of Madrid, but in any case, as more matchdays go by I think the difference between these two teams and the rest will be more pronounced.
Barcelona need to win to open more gap between them and real Madrid. A draw is not bad but it will reduce the their lead gap between them and Madrid. And nobody knows when they will start having bad results. So now that they are still playing good football they should try as much as possible to continue to maintain that gap between them and Madrid. Madrid had started the league poorly and when they pick form they won't stop until the end of the season. So Barcelona shouldn't go and settle for a draw when the face Alavés. Alavés are not doing very well and it wont go well for Barcelona to drop a single point when they play against Alavés today. Same way that real Madrid have managed to win their match yesterday, Barcelona should also try and win their match as well.
