Ancelotti complains about Real's flurry of commitments, but in the meantime Barca continue to win and it will be tough to cancel the -5 in the standings.
The blaugrana won at Betis with Rafinha and Lewandowski, while the European champions overcame Valencia (who did not benefit from Gattuso's farewell) paying for it however with the injuries of Benzema and Militao.
Before thinking about the club world cup, Real will play in Majorca, while Barca will host a Sevilla side in crisis, but which has shown signs of recovery (3 victories in 4 games).
Easy, on paper, the commitments of the pursuers Real Sociedad and Atletico, with Valladolid and Getafe.
