According to Barcelona’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gerard-c14664 Pique, the title race for the silverware in the Spanish La Liga is still wide open. Despite his side being the league leaders in the Spanish Primera Division’s league standings, the defender is convinced that his side

To their advantage, Madrid had suffered defeat in their match on Saturday. The Whites travelled to Real Betis but were humbled to a loss with the final score of 1-0.
Hence, the gap between the two teams is now of 11 points.
Nevertheless, Pique has refused to sound too confident and has warned his teammates against complacency.
The Spanish capital-based outfit have experienced a disappointing start to their league campaign this season. The Whites have failed to produce ideal results and have dropped a significant amount of points this term.
In comparison to Barcelona, Jose Mourinho’s men are currently 11 points behind and experts have voiced that the race for the Spanish La Liga title could already be over. Considering the point gap between the two teams, it can be imagined that Vilanova’s
men are in the driving seat.
However, Pique has stated otherwise.
"We’re having a great start to the season and that’s allowed us to claim the top spot in the league," he told reporters.
"The difference with Madrid is certainly not definitive, though. You can never count Real Madrid out. We’ve been conceding a lot of goals recently from isolated plays, but today we put in a good defensive performance."
Barcelona will take on Alaves in their Copa del Rey fixture on Thursday.
