Turns out Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti was right again when discussing the LaLiga race.
"The difference between us and Barcelona isn't 11 points," Ancelotti said on Monday. By Thursday that was true: it's 14.
The European champions are not the biggest team in Spain right now; they're not even the second biggest after Atletico Madrid overtook them on goal differential by scoring five against Cadiz on Wednesday. That's not so unusual -- stay like this and Real's neighbours will have finished above them four times in the past six years -- the question is how much it matters.
