Real Madrid opens a gap with Barcelona after their rival's draw for the title. Butragueño praised the streak. “The team has a lot of merit. There are five consecutive victories and with solid defense. Today, opposite, a team in a delicate situation that has made it very difficult. There is a lot left and we have to be cautious.”
