Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale believes the team can still wrestle La Liga title from Barcelona's grasp this season.
Madrid travel to the Nou Camp for El Clasico on Saturday trailing Barca by 10 points, with their city rivals Atletico Madrid in between the pair.
Bale has scored seven goals in his last six league outings and, after being excused from international duty at the weekend, feels ready to help apply some pressure on the Catalans side for the eight-game run-in.
"I think everything is possible in football. We're 10 points behind, but we will keep fighting until it is impossible," Bale said.
"We have to score there. We know it will be difficult and we will have to be at 100 per cent. You have to attack them and, if we play our best football, we will win.
"On Saturday we can get to within seven points of them and you never know what might happen next."
After a disappointing second season in the Spanish capital, Bale has become a vital component in the team's forward line and will surpass his best haul of 15 league goals for Madrid if he scores in Barcelona.
"I feel more comfortable here now," he added. "I speak some Spanish. I think I have to keep working hard and improving, giving my all and helping the team.
"Everyone knows I like to play in the middle and then move about, but if I start from out right I can play more economically and support my team-mates better."
