The gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid may widen further because Real Madrid is currently not in its best form. Mathematically, the gap between the two is only 6 points (if Real Madrid is able to beat Valencia in the postponed match), but if Valencia manages to steal points in that match, it is certain that Real Madrid will find it increasingly difficult to catch up with Barcelona.
From the beginning of the season, I never thought that Barcelona would even have chances to top the table. The reason was that I felt Real Madrid would be in such great form that no team could easily defeat them, due to the signing of Mbappé. Another reason was that Barcelona had not been able to sign more quality players to strengthen their squad, so I was not expecting any great rival for Real Madrid. As the gap in points between Barcelona and Real Madrid is getting wider, it is a big surprise to me. It is still possible for Real Madrid to catch up with the points if they get back to good form.
Conceded 7 goals in two consecutive games is a step backwards for Real Madrid, their front line is also not as productive as last season, they seem confused when they get a chance. The problems faced by Real Madrid are very serious, Ancelotti must immediately resolve the problem to put pressure on Barcelona who are enjoying the pleasure of being at the top of the standings.
Honestly, I don't expect a team like Real Madrid to concede many goals in any match they play, as they have great quality players. With what is currently happening now, the Real Madrid coach needs to find a way to resolve the problems. If not, it is very possible for them not to win any trophy this season. Even in the Champions League, which we all know Real Madrid for, they have lost two matches. It is really a bad record for Madrid with this set of players they have.
