The Santiago Bernabeu outfit was edged out by its Catalan archrivals in the two-legged Spanish Supercopa after a pair of closely contested games. That came after Madrid had fallen short of Barca in La Liga and in the Champions League in 2010-11, with the club's only success in the campaign coming in the Copa del Rey.
Still, Higuain believes his side is on the right track in its bid to unseat the Camp Nou club, telling Ole, "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."
The 23-year-old, who has scored hat-tricks in each of the club's last two games, spoke of his joy at having returned to the team's plans after a lengthy spell on the sidelines last season.
"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."
