Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde believes Real Madrid will be in the LaLiga title race until the end of the season, despite the seven-point gap between the rivals.
Held by Villarreal last time out, Madrid were left adrift of league leaders Barca almost halfway through the season.
"We consider Real Madrid a candidate for the title for the rest of the season," he told a news conference.
"I know that the differences seem great, but are not, just seven points. They are one of our rivals."
