A win at a packed Santiago Bernabeu stadium could propel Real to the top of the table if leaders Barcelona, stuttering on their travels recently, fail to win at basement side Real Sociedad.

Barca are two points clear of Real and one clear of Sevilla going in to the final six games of the season, and the Madrid giants are on a roll after thrashing Athletic Bilbao away at the weekend to stay right in the hunt.

"Everything's perfect. We are playing better than Barca and Sevilla and we are capable of winning the title," Real's Brazilian midfielder Emerson told Tuesday's Marca magazine.

"We are really up for it. The team is convinced we can win the league," added club chairman Ramon Calderon.

Forecasting that Barca might slip up at Real Sociedad, Marca's headline blared in reference to Real that "they already see themselves as leaders" -- assuming Sevilla can be sent packing.
