Del Bosque: 'If we win at Nou Camp, Real will have a good chance of winning La Liga'

Former Real Madrid coach believes his old team has a good chance to soon decide the La Liga championship for the 2016-2017 season.

Ahead of Saturday night's El Clasico, Real are top of La Liga with 33 points from 13 games, six more than second- and third-placed Barca and Sevilla.

"If they win at Nou Camp, Real will take a big step towards the La Liga championship. But even if that happens, they should still be cautious with the remaining matches," Del Bosque commented on Marca.

Del Bosque left the Spanish national team after Euro 2016. Under the new reign of Julen Lopetegui, the team that won the Euro three times and the World Cup once is playing better.

"The Spanish team has had typical changes of a coaching transition, from player selection, training to competition. I think everything is going perfectly," Del Bosque commented.

The former World Cup 2010 and Euro 2012 champion coach also shared about the plane crash of the Chapecoense team (Brazil): "It was an unfortunate incident. It is unfortunate for any team or anyone to happen."
