Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti admits Barcelona are not a title rival "right now".
Ahead of victory over Elche, Xavi stated in Barcelona's pre-match press conference on Friday that his team still retain hope of winning LaLiga Santander, but Ancelotti is not worried about the Blaugrana.
"They are not a direct rival right now, because there are other teams closer to us," Ancelotti commented.
"But they have the quality to rise up the table and if I were Barcelona coach I would say exactly the same as Xavi."
