Indeed, that is the theory because after all, basically Real Madrid is a team with a verygood winningmentality. So yes, if Real Madrid only compete with Barcelona at this moment, then of course Real Madrid will still succeed at the top of thestandings until theend of theseason. Obviously, there is nodoubt about Real Madrid'sability and winning mentality and thus, at least Barcelona no longer has a chance of overtaking Real Madrid in the restof this season. It doesn't matter if that Barcelona maybe able towin all the remaining matches, but at the sametime ofcourse Real Madrid will also be able to get good results in every match for therest of the season.Therefore,I personally believe that Real Madrid will be the team that wins the La Liga title this season.
So far, as long as I've watched Real Madrid, there's no doubt about the mentality they have, and what's interesting is that they do it like it's been passed down from generation to generation. Because the young players they have also have a very good mentality, even though experience should have an effect on the mentality a player has. Maybe Real Madrid's big name is one of the reasons why the mentality formation within the Real Madrid squad is growing so quickly.
It's not just one or two times that I saw them fall behind early, even when they faced a tough team. Maybe it's natural that they can turn things around when they face a weak team. But if it's a big team then it's very difficult to make a comeback because it requires a push and that's one of them is mentality. They don't know the word give up before the game is really over, because as long as they still have time they will try to make use of it.
