in the league table. However,
Real Madridboss Carlo Ancelotti believes the Catalans can regain their best form under their new manager, Xavi.
"Obviously I don't want to talk about Barcelona. I know they're in a tough situation, and I've said that on more than one occasion because I have a lot of respect for them as a club, and I respect Xavi as well,"
Ancelotti said.
"I wish him the best because I can't say anything personally if Barca have any issues or not, but they have more than enough quality to get out of this tough situation."
The Italian added:
"It's a surprise that we're 10 points clear of Barcelona, but I think Barcelona can very easily get back into the title race because the season is very long.
"And as I said, this is a very competitive league. You don't need 100 points to win this division. You need many less because it's that competitive."
