I do not think Real Sociedad are dreaming yet of a league title, for teams in their position, the objective is the next game, and then the next. Barcelona and Real Madrid have been in very bad form for most part of the season, especially when you compare it with their expected standards. Madrid are experiencing a transition as most of their top players are losing form due to age and they're still reeling from the loss of Ronaldo.
Barcelona's woes are entirely technical. These are not issues you solve at a snap, and I see chances opening up for other Spanish teams to make a title charge.
Although other club opportunities to hinder Madrid and Barcelona are still there, But I am still optimistic that this year's LaLiga title race will again be taken by Barcelona, Although they have problems with coaches who lack technique, Messi et al will still be able to compete with Madrid.Barcelona's woes are entirely technical.

Indeed Barcelona still relies on Messi et al but it is difficult if the coach does not carry out a good strategy, for example last night Barcelona was unable to win against Slavia Prague at home even though there are many opportunities for Barcelona, so I still doubt whether Barca is still coach by Valverde.
Relying on just one player and not having a second plan when this player is missing the first line up is what it makes Barcelona do weak.
And also, they are going to have bigger problems when Messi retires or leaves the club.
