Of course there is no harm in choosing Real Madrid as the favorite team to become Laliga champions because Real Madrid's quality is truly the best this season and the large difference in points between Barcelona and Madrid makes me believe that Real Madrid deserves to be the favorite team to become Laliga champions this season. but of course we won't know for sure who will win Laliga this season because there are still matches that must be played by all the teams and of course there is still hope for Barcelona to become champions even though their hopes of becoming champions are slim.
Real Madrid are strong and already have big differences in points against Barcelona and Girona. By all factors like these, it makes sense to consider Real Madrid as a best candidate for La Liga title especially we are counting down very last matches of La Liga 2023 - 2024. There are not many matches and opportunities left for Barcelona and Girona to beat Real Madrid in this race.
The last El Clasico match of this season is the match that we have been waiting for, betting is something fun and if you bet on Real Madrid winning, I don't think there's anything wrong with it and it seems like I also want to bet Real Madrid winning in the El Clasico match because I remember the first meeting in Laliga Barcelona lost and the last meeting in the Spanish Super Cup also lost so it looks like in the next match there is great potential in the El Clasico match, in my opinion Madrid will win.
By big point difference against Barcelona at the moment, 8 points, Real Madrid will still have good difference if they lose in the El Clasico. If they lose, difference will become 5 points and we can see that La Liga now have only 7 matches left. If Barcelona win in the El Clasico, they will need to catch Real Madrid with 5 points to equalize in other six matches. I am sure Real Madrid are able to defend 5 points against Barcelona with only 6 matches to play till the ending of season.
Indeed, Barcelona's strength is currently in good performance, the proof is that in the Champions League against PSG, Barcelona could win the match and indeed, if the points difference with Madrid was small, of course Barcelona would be a big threat to Real Madrid, but of course Madrid is currently lucky because they have a large points difference with Barcelona.
Yes, with a few games remaining this season, Madrid will certainly be confident in potentially becoming champions. If, for example, in the El Clasico match, Madrid loses, of course Madrid still has quite a lot of points and of course it will be difficult for Barcelona to surpass Madrid's points, but I predict that in the El Clasico match, Madrid has the potential to win because I saw that in Barcelona's match against the team that is currently in the relegation zone, namely Cadiz, Barcelona won but didn't score many goals so I think there is very big potential for victory for Real Madrid. But I hope Ancelotti will be as careful as he was against Betis and Real Sociedad because sometimes a weak team can become strong and become an obstacle to achieving their goals.
But yes, I think I agree with you and I am also sure that Ancelotti's troops will be able to maintain their position at the top of the standings and of course have great potential to become Laliga champions.
