"Real Madrid" defender Guti stated that the main favorites to win the highly competitive Spanish championship are football players. At the moment, "Barcelona" is leading "La Liga" with 56 points in 29 matches, but "Sevilla" and "Real" are only 1 and 2 points behind them, respectively. "Valencia" and "Zaragoza" clubs, with 50 points each, still have hopes of fighting for the top positions. Over the weekend, "Real" defeated "Osasuna" 2-0 and returned to the path of victories, but Guti is convinced that the best chances to retain the title are held by Frank Rijkaard's proteges, who unexpectedly ended their journey in the UEFA Champions League early. "Barcelona" is a great team and the favorite to win the championship," said the 30-year-old defender. "Barcelona" is leading the league table, and they still have matches to play against weaker opponents, so the chances of stumbling are lower than those of their closest competitors. "Barca" has nine matches left in the competition, with only one of them against Madrid's "Atletico," one of the eight strongest teams. In comparison, "Real" has five matches ahead against powerful clubs occupying high positions, including "Sevilla," "Valencia," and "Zaragoza." "We have to think only about our team, stay focused, and fight for victory in every match," added the Spaniard. To be frank, none of the leading teams have a solid foundation, and the title will be won by the team capable of maintaining consistency until the end. "Barcelona" is under pressure, as we are breathing down their necks, and lately they have not been showing good form or achieving winning results. "Sevilla" also causes concern for the favorites. "I am surprised that there is no team standing out in the championship with consistency. If there were, the winner would have been determined much earlier."
