Barcelona is now 7 points ahead of Real Madrid. If Madrid can win against Alaves today, this gap will be 4. If Madrid loses points against Alaves too, I would say that Madrid should give up hope of winning the La Liga title.
Now with a 7 point gap from Barcelona, Madrid is increasingly struggling to reduce the gap. Although today they played against Alaves and won 3 points, it does not mean that Barcelona is careless. Their competitors are unstoppable, Hansi Flick and his team are in the most likely mode to win the Quadruple this season (
Supercopa de Espana, La Liga, Copa del Rey and UCL).
