The youngster has insisted that Barcelona can still find a way back in the title race and reclaim the Spanish La Liga trophy.
Although the Catalan giants are currently behind their main competitors, Alcantara believes that there is still a lot to play for in the league.
"Hope is the last thing that dies, we just have to keep hoping," the youngster quoted on the club’s website.
Barcelona gained a considerable advantage over the weekend as Los Blancos dropped two points in their match against Malaga.
A similar story was witnessed during the midweek, after Madrid drew their fixture against Villarreal.
Prior to these two games played, Barcelona were 10 points behind Madrid at the top of the Spanish Primera Division’s league standings.
At that point of time, many believed that Los Blancos will easily win the Spanish crown, with only 11 fixtures left to play and a 10-point gap between the two sides.
However, the tides have taken a turn as the distance in terms of points among the top two has reduced to six points.
Barcelona were able to secure a 2-0 victory over Sevilla on Saturday, while Madrid could only manage a stalemate against Malaga.
The story was repeated during the midweek as the Catalans emerged victorious on Tuesday, whereas Madrid had to settle for another 1-1 draw against Villarreal.
Barcelona are now close to catching up on Madrid and with 10 matches still left in the league this season, Barcelona are going to pray for a miracle.
