Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola played down his side's title chances after they had come from behind to beat Real Madrid 3-1 at the Bernabeu on Saturday evening.
Jose Mourinho's side had taken the lead after only 23 seconds when Karim Benzema netted the fastest goal in El Clasico history, only for Alexis Sanchez to grab an equaliser for the visitors before the interval.
Barca went on to claim a vital three points thanks to second-half goals by Xavi and Cesc Fabregas, so ending Real's 15-match winning sequence.
Barcelona are 1213.00 to win the Champions League for a third time in four years this season while Mourinho's side can be backed at 1213.00 to win the competition.
Guardiola's side are back on the top of the table but will now be heading to Japan for the Club World Cup and the Barca boss said after the match: "I am delighted with the performance but Madrid will recover.
"To win here, you have to play a very good game and we have done that. But there is still much to do and Madrid will again be the leader if they beat Sevilla. There are no champions in December."
