Barcelona this season has shown a very solid performance and they seem to be more organised and consistent than last season, Xavi has previously found a very good team framework and Hansi flick was able to take advantage of it by applying the right formula to maximise Barcelona potential this season, the distance left by Madrid at the moment is very far, but I think Madrid still have a chance to catch them  on the condition that Madrid can perform consistently and hope that Barcelona loses their 3 matches, currently Barcelona is ahead of Madrid by 9 points, but at least Madrid still has 1 postponed match which may be able to be a difference for them in the future, the postponed match must be done in response to the storm that occurred in Valencia but indeed if Madrid can cut the point gap then it is likely that the competition will be even tighter at this time,  for now I think Madrid must be able to maintain their consistency and minimize the loss of points if they still want to compete with Barcelona in la liga.
