I think there is still a big chance considering that at the moment the condition of some of the big teams can't be said to be stable with their record of performance having to be like this in terms of consistency because they are dark horses and of course from this word we know that in the last 2 seasons Betis has always so the dark horse that always troubles others.
Atletico are slowly approaching this moment and it is clear they want to aim for their position as last season in 3rd place and this will indirectly make the competition even more real.
Clubs that are often considered dark horses cannot be underestimated. Because it will backfire, it can be more dangerous when all focus on big clubs instead clubs like Bilbao and Betis take advantage of a situation where La Liga often only focuses on Barcelona and Madrid. Maybe they are not ambitious to target the top spot, but the top 3 to the top 5 are still a safe position rather than being in the relegation zone.
Besides that, Barcelona's victory currently leads the top of the standings. Lewandowski again extended the top score with the acquisition of 9 goals. Whether Benzema will be eliminated this season, statistically Benzema is still in a condition that has not fully improved. It's a shame that he had to be absent so much. But fortunately, so far Vinicius has improved his form which has taken him to the highest level. Ancelotti still needs Benzema for Real Madrid to return to the perfect main formation.
It's true, for now Lewa has contributed a lot to Barcelona, I think ZXavi knew how to do it by having such a good player in his sights, but what would happen if Lewa no longer plays? how would he fare? Are you depending only on 1 single player for your success? It is as you say in the case of Real Madrid, the cat Benzema has been absent for a long time, and yes, the team needs a lot, so much so that it could be thought that he is a fundamental piece to once again reach the first place and consolidate himself as the better, even I still think that the best club so far is still Real Madrid, for me it is the best despite the minor problems they have.
Real Madrid vs osasuna that ended in draws is a good advantage to Barcelona. Osasuna equalising the match against Real Madrid has cause Real Madrid not to achieve a full point. Barcelona leads for now.
that's very bad for real madrid but this is not my first time to see real madrid was performing like this. I have been seeing this so many times when real madrid can't be consistent to win the game against the small club. barcelona may lead the la liga but real madrid is only a few points away from barcelona. The possibility for real to surpass barcelona is always there. It seems like that champion league will become a very hot match for both of clubs.
Barcelona seems a bit better in consistently compared with real madrid for now. At least real was not losing against mallorca
Well, every time I see that Real Madrid is becoming much more dependent on its star player, Benzema, and this is not positive, because any player can miss a penalty, but this was very decisive, it is something that really weighs or maybe it bothers, it is the best club in the world, its cups are showing it, maybe Ancelotti is trusting a lot They have a very good team, all their players are doing a great job, but I see that they lack much more definition, a draw against Osasuna it's like a failure, it seems equal to or worse than losing. I think they have to do something very quickly because these kinds of results are taking away first place, and Barcelona is taking a big advantage, you can't gain confidence here.
There is something that I recognize, and that is that Osasuna never gave up, they always played with great courage and showing good football, it cannot be denied, in fact even in the media they say so:
Benzema's misfortune also ruined my bet because of Real Madrid's draw, even though Real Madrid had 10 minutes left to score after David Garcia received a red card. But instead, Benzema's penalty missed and then also Benzema's goal was disallowed for offside, it was an unlucky day for Benzema who usually manages to produce good results for Real Madrid due to his luck and skill, but this time Benzema did not get that luck. With this result they have the same 19 points with Barcelona, I am personally quite happy because their competition is even tighter but I still really can't accept this result because it destroyed my multibet betting ticket.
Not only did your bets fall, many around the world are upset with this result, it seemed very ugly to me that it was thrown away, but in the end we must also know that these things are common in football, for many they were super confident that Real Madrid would win, but things don't happen when they want to, and I'm sure many people still can't get over this loss of the meringues, really "La Liga" can give many surprises, but this gets interesting and very well, for its part, Barcelona has not done badly, they are given credit for it, this time Real Madrid must restructure their game to improve.
This is how the La Liga leaderboard goes:

https://www.skysports.com/la-liga-tableI find it impressive that Atlético de Madrid is in 5th place, that is something that is not good for Cholo, we wait to see how he can recover, but I like to see teams that did not appear much before are like this right now, that means that the level has increased.
However, Real Madrid still won 3-1. The score is certainly quite unexpected, given the status and results of both teams. However, let's not forget that Benzema did not take part in official matches for four weeks and this could also play a role. Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said after the match about this after the match that he thought about changing the player punching the penalty, but Benzema scored two important penalties last season and he is the best penalty taker in the team. And I would still not attach too much importance to who wins the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona. As we saw with the example of this match, there are other teams in La Liga and they also need to be beaten to claim the championship title.
