Barcelona and Real Madrid both have comfortable fixtures ahead of them now. The opponents are Espanyol and Valladolid respectively. I don't expect any mistakes from both favourites.
Barcelona have already been very comfortable against smaller teams in the league for a long time. As for Real Madrid it has been a little complicated recently. They lost points in really unexpected games which was a big help for Barcelona to take the lead from Real Madrid. With the return of Benzema I think Real Madrid will fight stronger than before. Ancelotti should be successful with helping his players have full concentration on their games from now on.
Benzema is indeed a top priority at Real Madrid, but Carlo Ancelotti should not depend on Benzema alone because they have many players that can be used to work well together. The two teams are fighting very fiercely, so this will be a match that is highly anticipated for taking first place at the top of the La Liga standings.
What happens is that at Real Madrid Benema is connected, and the tencio director has all the trust in him in the world, despite everything I think he is a very good player for him to contribute, in fact I think that without Benezema it would have been impossible that Real Madrid had not won the orejona, this is something that is known in advance, but taking into account that Benzema was or is coming from a recovery period, it can be said that now Real Madrid is much more connected with his team, I don't know if he will continue in the France team, but if Zidane will be in charge, he will undoubtedly call him and need his services.
Real Madrid and Barcelona have Dominated that league this season, they are on the same points and already set pace for others teams like Atheletico Madrid, Athletic Bibao, Real Betis and Real soceidad, catching them by this wil be a difficult one and they both have tough matches next with Barcelona taking Atheletico Madrid and Real Madrid taking on Villarreal, they both need victory in these games because any slip might prove too costly and the season is already heading to the critical stage when teams will be battling relegation with there lives and the European qualifying spot will be taking more seriously, I think a victory over this teams wil be give them both an advantage
They are only at the same level in La Liga, whereas in other competitions they are always different, including this season. You will see Barcelona in the Europa League after the team failed in the Champions League, while Real Madrid is still in the Champions League and there is a possibility to continue to survive until the final because Real Madrid is the defending champion in the Champions League and is still very strong to continue competing in this competition. So these two teams are only the same in terms of points in La Liga, while the others are very much different.
Yes, for now the quality of the squad for Barcelona and Real Madrid is very different. In my opinion the Los Blancos squad is superior to the Blaugrana. At the moment they do have the same points, but I'm sure that on the way later Madrid will again be able to take the top spot and at the same time will widen the gap with its nemesis, moreover Karim Benzema and friends will still have a chance during the El Clasico match later. But it is possible that there will be a quicker change at the top of the standings, because at the weekend Real Madrid and Barcelona will face teams that are quite balanced for them.
@G_Besar if Barcelona wishes to win the La Liga title then they need to drop out of Europa league, because if they continue playing football on Thursday night their player’s will be tired hence their position on the table could change if they continue to remain in the Europa league. Lastly if Barcelona sell some player’s and manage to recruit new player’s then they could offer some tough competition to Real Madrid, but for now I feel that Real Madrid will win the title even if they don’t make any new additions to their squad.
That is what I also think, Barcelona is a very big team and they play well, there is no denying it, but I think that even to be at the level of two things is a bit far, it must be taken into account that for now what The most they are pursuing is to be first in the League, but I also see it as far away, because the League could be managed very soon by Real Madrid, it is seen that Barcelona is in flux and this is without mentioning the financial problems that are very Obviously, aside from that, one could say that if they win the Europa League, it would be the best for them, but they have great opponents and it will be very difficult to do so.
Meanwhile in Barcelona they insist on other sides:
