Real Madrid forward Gonzalo Higuain is of the belief that his side are closing the gap to La Liga champions Barcelona.

Los Merengues almost won the two legged Spanish Supercoppa, but were edged out in the second game. Higuain believes that their performances are getting them closer to Barcelona than ever before.

Every year we get closer to Barca, that was seen in the Copa del Rey, in the Supercopa and in the other four matches.

"We have come across a spectacular Barca, but we have a great team and there is no doubt we can stand up to them and win. We are getting closer to Barca, and I do not doubt that we can overcome them at some point this season."

Higuain has now scored two consecutive hat-tricks and is relieved to make it back to the team after a lengthy absence due to injury.

"The surgery was a very hard blow, it came when I was in a good spell with the club," Higuain added. "It was a tough injury which practically ruled me out for the season.

"Only those who were by my side know what I suffered to get to play again. But those difficult months are now over. Indirectly, this is a reward, and it is satisfactory."
