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.
Everyone is expected That real madrid will be top of the league due to good signings. But now the matter is reversed Barcelona is top of the league, although they didn't sign any good expect Dani Olmo. Despite Real Madrid signing Killian Mbappe. The secret of all this success is only Hansi Flick. He managed the team by making every possible effort—no big signing, he chose academic players.
Real madrid has a good team but the problem is that they didn't sign the players they needed to make the team strong enough. It means midfield real madrid know that a fair passer like Toni Kroos is leaving the team but they didn't bring any replacements for him. So far, Killyan Mbappe is playing as a ST role which he cannot play with full of confidence because he is natural winger. So these are all the mistakes that real madrid has made and that's why they can't catch up with Barcelona.
