FC Barcelona currently find themselves only six points behind arch rivals Real Madrid following their midweek league matches. Barça had first defeated Sevilla away 2-0 before defeating Granada 5-3. Meanwhile, Real Madrid dropped points at home by drawing 1-1 with Malaga before watching Villarreal score a goal late in El Madrigal to end in another 1-1 draw. Thus, in a matter of days, Real Madrid’s lead of ten points shrunk to six with ten matches left.

Barça’s next game will be this Saturday when they travel to face Mallorca. Since their kickoff is two hours before Real Madrid’s home game against Real Sociedad, Barça have the chance to temporarily reduce the league to a mere three points. With ten league matches remaining, anything is possible.
