Controversial Claim: Ancelotti argues 11-point gap between Barca and Madrid is unjust

Barcelona is currently leading Real Madrid with 11 point and Madrid boss has seen the point gap as unfair comparing the both team squad quality.

"In terms of the quality of both teams, there is not a difference of 11 points. We proved it during the matches that we played between ourselves. We want to shorten this gap," Carlo Ancelotti said in the latest presser.

Barcelona and Real Madrid played 5 matches this term, here's a quick reminder of the results:

Real Madrid 3-1 Barcelona (La Liga)

Real Madrid 1-3 Barcelona (Supercopa de Espana)

Real Madrid 0-1 Barcelona (Copa del Rey)

Barcelona 2-1 Real Madrid (La Liga)

Barcelona 0-4 Real Madrid (Copa del Rey)

So in head-to-head games, Barca are 3-2 ahead. But even that aside, the league title is decided by how the team performs in 38 matches during the season, not in head-to-head games between the top two teams.

And we have a much better record in the league: one draw and three losses fewer as well as a better defensive record (9 goals conceded v 24 goals) and goal difference (+45 v +39).
