Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain said on Thursday that he believed bitter rivals FC Barcelona were capable of winning a Primera Liga, Champions League and King's Cup treble. Barcelona qualified for the semifinals of the Champions League with a 1-1 draw away to Bayern Munich on Tuesday night.

May 13 sees Barcelona face Athletic Club Bilbao in the final of the King's Cup, while Real Madrid trails Barcelona by six points in the race for the Primera Liga.

For that reason, Higuain admitted their rivals winning the treble was a possibility.

"I do not think it is an exaggeration. They are very much alive in all three competitions and are playing very well, but this is football and anything can happen," he said on the official Real Madrid website.

However, that does not mean that that Higuain is giving up the race for the title.

"We will be right on their heels in case they do slip up," he added.

The forward also discussed recent declarations from goalkeeper Iker Casillas, who said Real Madrid lacks the players to be competitive in Europe.

The current Spanish Champion has crashed out of the Champions League in the last 16 for the last five years -- something he hopes will change next season.
