Overall Real Madrid and Barcelona have a fairly balanced strength this season so that it is possible to occur in fierce competition in the race for the title, and the KUA of the team also has the same problem that is not able to maintain consistency so because it makes all possibilities possible for Barcelona or Real Madrid.
Barcelona and Real Madrid do not have a balanced strength, if they do then i think Barcelona could have been in the second position and with a little point difference from Real Madrid who is topping the league table but instead, Real Madrid has given them a clear gap of about 7 points. Although, judging from their El Clasico meetings, Barcelona appears more stronger than Real Madrid but i feel Real Madrid should be accorded more respect in the sense that when Barcelona was topping the league with quite some numbers of points, Real Madrid maintain their faith even when they were going through some challenging moments but they still came back stronger and now they are enjoying their stay at the top of the table same way Barcelona was enjoying the top of the table when the league was still young. Considering Barcelona's financial difficulties and some other challenging problems within the club, it will be hard to say that they can contend the title against Real Madrid now because Madrid don't look like they gonna give them that chance anytime soon.
Saying balanced in terms of strength for now we do not only have to rely on the position in the standings but must also pay attention to the quality of the players because after all when talking about balance only because of the position of course it will not be a matter of sense for me because the position in the standings is influenced by the increase and decrease in performance in the end.
We must be aware that Barcelona are in a mid-season slump right now and that's exactly what happened to Madrid at the start of the season.
But when it comes to balance of course they are balanced because in terms of the quality of players and club rivalries of course they are not too far apart in terms of strength so in this case they can still be said to be balanced.
If the benchmark is only to the current standings, it means that indirectly the beginning of the season Madrid was not balanced from Barcelona because they were in a position not even too decent and vice versa so it will not make sense when saying about balance because the position is always changing.
You made some sense in your explanation but let's remove individual sentiment of our feelings in this case and analyze the situation of the two teams in a more real state, you will understand with me that Real Madrid and Barcelona don't have a balanced strength. Even when Barcelona was winning matches consecutively and topping the league table, Real Madrid was literally underperforming while everyone was praising Barcelona alone so while will Real Madrid make improvements now and are also enjoying those cheerful moments that Barcelona was enjoying while topping the league and you want to say that they are both balanced in performance, nah they ain't balanced from my own point of view but however, in order not to make this a prolonged argument i will rather say you should believe it from your own perspective while i believe mine as well.
Actually, the position of a team cannot determine if they are more superior than others since they can lose that position either on the long run or short run but yet in the case of Real Madrid and Barcelona, even though they both have quality squad but you can't compare the squad of Barcelona to that of Real Madrid in real sense.
