I also doubt Barcelona can catch up with Real Madrid's 7-point deficit, although Barcelona is also currently showing improvement after previously experiencing a bad phase and they are also appearing confident in the UCL league. However, with a 7-point gap from Real Madrid, it seems difficult for Barcelona, especially since Real Madrid is currently showing its true strength where the front line has started to become sharp and previously Real Madrid had weaknesses in the defense line but with the return of Alaba it will certainly help the defense become stronger again.
Real Madrid and Barcelona have gain significant odds of winning matches, this is not just some random domination but proper planning coming from both teams. La Liga is fierce competitive race, and there's always presence of thrilling performance from these teams. Barcelona are recovering to become one of the very best team in Spain. We've watched how they perform and come out ontop, this is measurable distant for them to persuade for winning. Hansi Flick will play major role in exerting his managerial task properly. What is the strength of Barcelona when it comes to title race? They will win matches because coming out ontop will bring in confidence for them.
