Although Real Madrid are behind Barcelona in La Liga, they are still favorites for La Liga. Because at any moment Real Madrid can do something great. As Real Madrid are in a great position in the Champions League, doing well in La Liga is not a concern for them.
With the current point gap, Real Madrid can only hope to lose to Barcelona and Real Madrid itself must also be able to win every game in order to get close to Barcelona's points. And the problem now is that Barcelona have been very consistent in scoring full points in every match in La Liga lately, making it difficult for Real Madrid to catch Barcelona at the top of the standings.
La Liga and the Champions League have their respective championships, so when Real Madrid can win in these two leagues, it will make Real Madrid proud, and the fans will be even more happy and support Real Madrid. Unfortunately, at this time, Real Madrid is focusing its strength on the Champions League, while in La Liga it doesn't really put out its full strength because Real Madrid's team has many injuries and can't contribute optimally.
I also see this in Real Madrid where they are not very consistent in scoring points in La Liga so the gap in points with Barcelona is starting to look far away even though they still have a chance to catch up with them when Barcelona loses their match in La Liga. But what I see is that Barcelona are still able to win matches in the last few matches of the season and still have the chance to continue to win the next matches this season.
