Real Madrid captain Raul concedes Barcelona are almost out of sight in their Liga battle.
"If Barcelona maintain the level they are currently playing," said Raul, "it will be impossible to catch them.
"There is still plenty of time left in the Liga. Barca may have a downturn. We must be focused on ourselves and winning our games."
Raul also paid tribute to Barca coach Pep Guardiola.
"The work of the coach of Barcelona is very important. He has a good staff, good players and he is promoting the values of good football at Barcelona. And that means that everyone is happy, and everyone around the world likes the football they are playing."
