This is how the top four of the Spanish La Liga looks like at the moment. I don't think any of us would have predicted anything similar to this after Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 4:0 in October but this is actually the reality at the moment. Barcelona started the season on a very good note and were even tipped by many to reclaim the league title at the end of the season but the Catalonian club have had very poor results in recent times and are now trailing league leaders by three points and second player Real Madrid by two points. If both Madrid clubs wins their outstanding games, Barcelona will be 6 and 5 points behind respectively.
This provides quite some interesting insights into how this season went for Barcelona so far. +29 goals and yet they rarely win their games now. That is why these games that Barcelona won early in the season scoring a ton of goals are worthless if they can't be consistent.
Atletico Madrid is interesting as they now show the consistency that everyone was expecting from Barcelona this season. I didn't think that Atletico could turn into a favorite for the title, but they have made some immense progress over the course of the last few months. They now have what is needed to go a long distance and I am curious to see how they will perform in the Champions League. Maye they should be taken very seriously.
